Students Marcus Miller and Daniel Whitte enjoy the comforts of living off campus. on off campus Living off campus has its advantages and disadvantages. Sonja Yanoviak. Seaver College senior, says. ‘I think being able to cook my own food, have friends over any time and an unlimited amount of privacy are great advantages to living off campus, although driving to and from school can take a toll she says. Other advantages to living off campus are that it is quiet and there are not too many distractions when trying to study, she adds. Chris Farrar, another student who lives off campus, enjoys not being under the influence of so many rules on campus. Also, the student can make as much noise as he wants and says he feels living off campus is a cleaner environment and even cheaper if the student finds the right place. 12 opening Along with the advantages come many disadvantages. Farrar said 'the commute can be , long, you do not get to meet a lot of people and parking can be a problem. Even though both students had many of the same complaints, they agree that they don't feel they miss out on any activities that occur on campus. Yanoviak says. 1 don't feel I miss out on any activities that happen on campus because there are none.' Denise Buckley, who graduated from Seaver a year ago. soys she feels freedom can still exist for those who live on campus. 1 think if students would not worry about the rules and just have a good time meeting new people and enjoying school, they would realize that they have a great deal more freedom than they think they do she says. Farrar says a lot of students believe that living off campus is a way to escape the rules that limit some of the freedom that they now have. Farrar says he was put on probation for a party that was given off campus in which he never attended. The noise got out of hand and neighbors called Rich Dawson, associate dean of student affairs, to complain. Dawson says. 'There is not much we can do with students who violate the rules off campus, but I do think these rules are responsible and must be enforceable. Farrar says. 'As long os nobody violates any criminal or social laws, then it is okay. The majority of the students I know are very responsible and considerate when it comes to other people living in the community.' LISA ERMATINGER
