[quote=Anonymous]Choose a school that requires students to live on-campus, preferably all four years.

Off-campus is rarely cheaper when you factor in that college students don’t have time to cook or grocery shop; utilities, WiFi, and furniture may not be included; too difficult to grocery shop even if there is time because students might not have cars, lugging groceries on a bus route is a PITA and grocery delivery is expensive; keeping a car at college is expensive due to maintenance, gas & driving the car too & from college might be unsafe; risk of a car getting broken into; paying 12 months rent in an off-campus lease; living in some slumlord’s rental house where the floors are caving in & they might pack in a random adult stranger as an extra housemate; difficult to access maintenance & kids having to sign NDAs if they move out of the apt early due to issues like mold and I could go on…college kids have plenty of time to grow up. I think living off-campus brings a ton of headaches 99% of the time.[/quote]
