I disagree. Dorms generally suck. (although made better based on roommates)
You can usually rent an apartment for cheaper and have much more space.
It was too random for my tastes. That having been said though, I did meet one of my flatmates-to-be there. Rented a much better place to share with him and another friend the following year, only slightly more expensive but better part of town, a pretty decent sized room for everyone and not sharing kitchen/bathroom with too many people.
You can always be social and meet people at college, didn't find I needed actually living with a random sample.

Then again, I get along with my whole family really well. There is essentially no benefit to living in a dorm unless you value living with a bunch of random strangers or you have a bad relationship with your parents. You can always hang out in the dorms as long as you want which is what I did. A lot of people feel it is part of the "college experience", but whatever, I'm living on my own now and I wouldn't own a house right now if I lived in a dorm for 4 years. |
My school was about 12k and they forced you to buy meal plans for the dorm cafeteria.
I'd say get an apartment with a friend or someplace off campus. You can get a bigger place for far less, plus ameneties like a bathroom and kitchen. And you can throw parties or do whatever you want whenever you want. No quite hours, bans against smoking/drinking, ect.
TLDR: dorms suck

Yes. I really enjoyed living in the dorms while I was in college.. plus once I moved into them, my grades went way up.
Its a good experience... unless you have a terrible roomate, which most places you can transfer.
