Who suits campus dorms
First-years on a budget who want to be near class. Cheaper and safer, but expect curfews, visitor rules, and shared rooms.
Who suits off-campus
Anyone wanting privacy, pets, or their own kitchen. Costs more but total freedom — pick buildings with keycard access and CCTV.
Check before deciding
- Actual walking/riding distance to your faculty
- Food options and convenience stores nearby
- How safe the walk home feels at night
