2. Whether it is living on-campus or off-campus, both the scenarios
have their benefits and disadvantages. Nonetheless, let us discuss
some pros and cons of living on-campus and off-campus.

3. Living On-Campus – Pros
• Convenience – You can wake up 15 minutes before
the class. No hassle of commuting and traffic. You
will never get late to class.
• More social responsibilities – Build new connections
and stumble upon friendships anytime, anywhere.
• Built-in community – Be an active participant in all
the cultural, sports and other activities and attend
lectures and seminars after college hours. Be the
first ones to know what’s happening around the
campus.
• Simple life – Just pay once for the room and mess
and you do not have to worry about monthly rent,
electricity bill and you can save time and money.

4. Living On-Campus – Cons
• Less space and less privacy – You have to compromise
on space and privacy with hostel rooms. While
sharing a room with another person, you will be
surrounded by people even if you are an introvert.
• Rules – Hostel life comes with stringent rules – eating
on time, getting back to your room before 10 PM, not
allowing friends to your room and attending
meetings.
• Expensive – Depending on the fee structure and
facilities provided, it might be quite expensive.
• No exposure – On-campus living makes you ignorant
of the outside world. You can easily get stuck in the
university bubble and different clubs and
communities.

5. Living Off-Campus Pros
• More freedom and space – Your apartment, your
rules! You can easily set up a kitchen, living room
and enjoy your personal space. Now when you are
not surrounded by hostel mates, you can follow
your own schedule.
• Cheaper – It requires a lot of effort to build a
home, but once established, it is a cheaper option.
• Flexible roommate choice – You can choose your
own roommate and have friends over at your
place.
• Moving out every summer – With your own place
you do not have to vacate your room at the end of
every semester.

6. Living Off-Campus Cons
• Commuting – Every day walking or driving to college is
not an easy task in high traffic especially if you are
staying far away from the campus.
• More responsibilities – You have to take care of all the
necessary bills, grocery, apartment cleaning and
internet that can hamper your studies and leisure time.
• Less social interaction – You will lose out on important
information of the college if you are living off-campus.
You will have to stay after college hours if you are an
active participant in college activities.
• Extra costs – Although off-campus life seems cheaper,
you end up spending a lot on monthly bills or
maintenance of the apartment and these things can
add up the cost of living.

7. • Living on campus or off-
campus has its own set
of benefits and
disadvantages. Do not
rush through one of the
major decisions of your
college life.
• To make an informed
decision, consider all the
pros and cons of both
living on-campus and off-
campus.
