Housing Selection is right around the corner (April 2nd deadline for applications) and you will want to know as much as possible about choosing your home for the next academic year. Here are some reasons to live on campus...
Reasons why it’s better to LIVE ON!
Did you know that students living on campus...
- Do better academically than those who do not
- Are more likely to return to college the following year
- Are more likely to persist at college until graduation
- Have a higher degree of satisfaction with their college experience
- Participate in more extracurricular activities
- Have more interpersonal relationships with students, faculty and staff
- You have art studios, TV, and study lounges downstairs, instead of late nights in the library or studio.
- You have a Security Officer at your door 24/7 for safety, instead of a Chihuahua who barks at every passing car, but loves strangers.
- You have laundry facilities right downstairs, which is better than spending your weekends sitting at the Laundromat.
- You have a better sense of community and social opportunities in your building, so you don’t have to find yourself wondering who the weird neighbor is.
- You have one convenient bill for everything, instead of losing track and bouncing a check on your already depleting account.
- You have staff available 24/7 to support you, which beats trying to locate your landlord, who only shows up to collect rent.
- You get a new roommate if yours moves out mid-year, instead of paying increased rent when your friend decided to transfer.
- You are close to your classes, so you don’t have to ride the crowded, long subway from Queens or Brooklyn.
- You have leadership opportunities right in your hall, rather than making up stuff to put on your resume.
- You have free high-speed internet, so you don’t have to play guessing games with your neighbor’s Wifi password.
