Most students find the choice between living in an apartment and in the dorm difficult. As a junior at USF, I have experienced both living in the dorm and living in an apartment. This is my second year living in an apartment, and from personal experience and from general consensus I gather from friends at USF, I believe that living in the dorm is better than living in an apartment. USF requires students who are under 21 years of age or under junior class status to live in the dorm, as a result, it was mandatory for me to live in a dorm for my freshmen year at USF. Like most student who are required to live in the dorm, I was extremely dissatisfied with the arrangement, because I believed that college students should be old enough to make their own decisions. Consequently, with a mind full of complaints, I decided not to stay in the dorm the following year and boldly moved into an apartment when I was barely twenty-one years old. Recalling the incident, I must admit that I had not thought carefully of the disadvantages of living in an apartment and every now and then, I would regret my decision to move out from the dorm because weighing the two, living in a dorm comes out as more sensible to pursue. From my personal experiences, I would say that living in the dorm is more advantageous to living in an apartment: it is less expensive, more convenient, safer and it often fosters a more sociable environment than living in an apartment. Living in apartments often requires higher expenditure, a more independent living lifestyle and usually limits the opportunities in making friends.
One of the most often argued reasons for students who prefer to live in an apartment rather than dorms is the matter of privacy; students often don’t want a roommate.
