Pros of Living Off Campus

1. Pros of Living Off Campus

2. In your first year of college, it may be appealing to live on campus just because this can make your life easier. You’ll meet new people faster, be close to your classes, and have no worries about paying utility bills and dealing with a landlord.

3. However, living on campus also has a large number of disadvantages, which is why many students prefer Brock University off-campus housing.

4. Gain More Space and Privacy Your bedroom may be larger if you live off campus and you’ll only need to share if you want to. Plus, you’ll have a full kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom that you only need to share with a few other people.

5. Learn to Live in the Real World Living on campus does little to prepare you for life after school. In contrast, renting a place off campus will teach you about some of the responsibilities of adulthood — all without being overwhelming. You’ll learn how to grocery shop and prepare meals, arrange for maintenance and repairs, and read and sign contracts.

6. This will make adjusting to the real world after you graduate easier.

7. Follow Fewer Rules Although all apartment buildings have some rules, they have far fewer than what you experience living on campus. You’ll be able to invite over whoever you want, whenever you want. You can come home at the hour you want.

8. You can come home at the hour you want. You will need to keep the noise down, but there will be no periods of extreme quiet during exams. As long as you don’t damage the unit or bother your neighbours, what you do is up to you.

9. Enjoy More Amenities Off-campus housing gives you more choice as to where you live, meaning you can choose an area of the city that is close to the amenities you need. Search for student rentals near a gym, coffee shops, a grocery store, or a park — whatever matters most to you.

10. Save Money It’s clear that living off campus is more comfortable. Surprisingly, it can also cost much less. This is even the case when you take utility bills and other expenses into account.

11. It is possible to combine all the advantages of living on campus with the benefits of student rentals in St. Catharines where students can find this balance with Regent Student Living. Right by both Brock University and Niagara College, you’ll be able to walk to classes.

12. You’ll also be around other students, receive an all-inclusive suite, and gain support from a professional management team whenever you need it.
