APARTMENT LIVING
Privacy Apartments provide much more privacy. Even if you choose a 'shared' apartment arrangement, which are popular at communities near college campuses, you will have a private bedroom and bathroom.
Fewer Rules When you live in an apartment, you can come and go as you please, often with fewer restrictions on what you can do within your own space.
More Space In most cases, your apartment will have much more space than your dorm. You’ll have a full kitchen, a living area, a bedroom, and a private bathroom.
Food is Cheaper In many cases, shopping for groceries and making your own meals is cheaper than the campus meal plans or ordering fast food.
