[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I much prefer on-campus for at least 3 years. I don't want to deal with the BS and leases, and empty apartment over the summer, etc. Faulty balconies, etc. At my school a balcony at a shoddy apt building (newer build) fell with student overload...ugh [/quote] There are some issues with dorms. Most close for the summer, so if you get a job or take summer classes, you have to sublet in the neighborhood. You have to take all your stuff with you every summer when you're in the dorms. I actually think it's good for kids to learn about leases and utilities. Schools often have off-campus housing staff that will help students if they have questions about leases and such. It's a good transition to the "real world." Not saying it's the best for every kid. Just want to point out that dorms have drawbacks. [/quote]
