Living on Campus

Living on campus is not all its cracked up to be. Everyone always told me that I needed to live on campus my first year of college. Well of course I listened to them. That was a bad idea. Living on campus is way more expensive than living in an apartment or a house. Then they make you get a eating plan, which is expensive also becasue all the food on campus is over priced. Some people may love living on campus, but it just isn't for me. My dorm is suppose to be nicer one, that is scary to think of what the less nice ones look like. Don't get me wrong, I do have more room in mine that the other freshman dorms, but my is soo run down and old. People say that living in a dorm makes you more social. When in fact it does not make me more social and I have not really met any new people. My dorm is really inconvienant for me. I go to school and I work all the time. It is hard for me to get back and forth because I work on the other side of town and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to find a parking place or to walk to where I had to park. I know that I sound negative, but I am just really unhappy with my dorm situatuion. I am not living on campus next semester because it will be cheaper. The problem there is I have to pay a huge amount to get out of it. I have learned my lesson and I should have researched it more. The only bad thing is that I love my room mates, but they understand.
