Y -3:1-ll ns p Living S ace The Cn Campus!Off Campus Decision Making the choice between living in the dorm, at rome, or in an on or off campus apartment was a com- Jlex one. Finances were the greatest factor in many students' decisions. Living at home provided the greatest luxury for students. Mom and Dad were there to cook healthy Food, help with laundry and to offer comfort in times of illness and advice about problems. The student who worked while living at home also could afford to spend nore on entertainment, clothes, cars, and other items hat someone paying rent, utilities, cable and grocery bills while living in an apartment could not do. Students who wished to combine being close to :ampus without being in the dorms lived in the on- :ampus apartments. The apartments were originally Quilt for married students but were increasingly rented ,o single traditional-aged students. Privacy was the second most important factor for hose living off-campus. Their wasn't any loud music Jlaying or loud people keeping you awake until mid- iight. Many were uncomfortable with the gossip that was a part ofa small community ofpeople. Freshman, Viandi Montgomery lived at home. 'il wouldn't have had as near as much privacy in the dorm. First of all, you have a roommate that you have to share with, here I can just pretty much shut myself away from every- body, Montgomery said. I'm comfortable and used to the people I live with, I don't have to try and play around anyone's emotions. Commuting did not seem to bother those who chose to live off-campus. I don't see any purpose to moving on campus when I'm only four blocks away. Montgomery said. Driving around 30 miles a day has become normal for Brian Sutton. I'm used to it since I've done it for so many years...it's worth it for the privacy, Sutton said. Living in in the dorm had it's advantages too, such as being close to classes, not having to worry as much about living expenses, and the opportunity to build strong friendships with other domi residents. I live in the dorm because I'm poor, everything for me is in loans and now as an RA, all I have to pay for is a meal ticket. Elayne Bradford said.
