Residence

On campus housing has the benefit of being, well, on campus. However, living in residence often costs much more than living on your own. Oftentimes when you live in residence, you have to buy into a meal plan that is fairly overpriced as well. However, there are benefits to living in residence: you can wake up for class ten minutes before class starts and still be on time!

If you have a meal plan when you are in residence, it means that your meals are prepared for you, which saves you the hassle and time of meal preparation. It also means that sometimes you have to eat at certain times of the day, or that you might not have much selection in your meal choice. Most residences offer students the option of using their meal plan dollars at certain restaurants off-campus, or ordering food in from certain restaurants. Ask your university about their meal-plan, flexibility, and options.

Not all meal-plans are organized the same way. Some meal plans offer you a certain number of dinners a week, and then you can show up and eat your meal and they will count your number of meals. With this type of plan, you can eat as much as you want in one sitting. Other meal plans only give you the choice of showing up and eating when they offer food, but they might offer you the option of signing in a guest for meals occasionally.

Off-campus Student Housing

Sometimes universities or colleges offer off-campus residences, or school-owned houses. These residences are sometimes called “upper year” or “married student residences.” They typically don’t have a mandatory meal plan, though they will allow you to opt-in to partial or full meal plans if you want. These residences are often laid-out in an apartment style. They are generally very close to campus.

Sometimes you can get scholarships or subsidies to help you pay for your residence. Otherwise, often off-campus school-owned housing is more expensive than typical apartments.

Apartment

You might choose to get an apartment. You might even choose to share an apartment. When looking for housing, you have to take certain things into account. Although you might want to make your decision solely based on money, this is not a good idea. And as far as money goes, are you counting the costs? Does the cost of the apartment include your utilities? Sometimes it is easier if your rent includes utilities because then you don’t have to change the utilities into your name, and you don’t have to worry about fluctuations in your monthly payments.

Be sure to also remember how you are going to get to school. If
