...decisions, which they have to make. Among which there is a choice for them at first place, that is, he or she has to decide whether to live on campus or live outside of campus. Actually, both of the two choices have their own advantages and disadvantages. So, different people may have different opinions. For example, they will think about the cost, location, how to make friends easily and be specific. Sometimes, it is very hard for the students to tell which one is better and which one is worse because the two choices share a lot of similarities. However, through this analysis, they may find out which one they prefer. First of all, let’s see the advantages of living on campus. First and foremost, living on campus is more convenient than living outside of campus. For instance, If you live on-campus, you can easily walk to classes, libraries, computer labs and cafeterias.You don't have to waste time and money on driving to college, finding a parking space, and so forth. And also, Residences halls usually provide almost all equipment one may need. When living off-campus, it may not be convenient for you to walk to campus so you would have to find transportation. Whether you drive your car or use a form of public transportation, it is still going to cost you money. Traffic can also be an issue if you live in a crowded area. The second advantage of living on campus is can allow you to meet more people and establish more friendships than if you live off-campus. Living in...

...leave home and live on campus. The term “campus” is defined as a place where students pursue their studies and a place where students can live. This essay will discuss on whether students should live on campus or live off campus. Some of the most important events in life is when a student change from living at home to living in a dorm because it is the first thrilling life change and also because the consequences are unknown. The two main components this essay will discuss on is time and expenses between living on campus and living off campus. First, living on campus can be compared based on time and expenses. Students could live on campus mainly because of time. Students living on campus does not need to worry if they will come late to class because the classroom is just a stone throw away from the dorm. The students don’t need to get up early or rush to class. Even if the students forget to bring along their assignments, they can just go get it within minutes. On the other hand is the expenses. The expenses can be very expensive depending on the campus, but there are many facilities that make the expenses worth it. For example, most campuses surely have Wi-Fi, most campuses also have gyms for the students to work out and keep fit, other campuses similarly offer studios for student to play musical instruments and sing their stress away. If the students learn to manage their expenses, it will be a great experience for them in the future. Ergo, living on campus has been proved...

...On Campus Housing provides a better support system for fostering good grades. Every student has a decision to make when it comes to college living. On-Campus Housing is known as a pivotal part of the College Experience. Students on campus are exposed to campus activities, and have a greater opportunity to network with fellow students. According to (Seow-Eng Ong, Petrova, M., & Andrew, C. S., 2013), based on the proximity to facilities such as libraries and computer labs, full time students are more likely to live on campus. Due to convenience, students who reside on campus are able to focus more efficiently since they have greater access to various amenities. Living off campus typically means that the student commutes daily to school, and doesn't contribute to activities as often. Research has proven that on campus housing is the most beneficial way of living to foster good grades. Prior Research: On...

...Should Students Live on Campus or Off? As we all know, many college students are live at dormitory. There are two, three, four, or even more students live in a room. They share one room, the electricity, balcony, and they almost share all the equipment except their own beds. It is not convenient for college students who have a lot of free time and have different classes or things . In my opinion, college students should have more freedom to live off campus, but it should close the campus. Living off campus make us more independent. They need to taken care of by parents at home and by roommates at dormitory. I think it is difficult for us to be independent for a teenager, but we can not escape and no one will take care ourself forever. One of a new college student rose to fame in the Internet because of his 14 boxes of luggage. He was called "Well Prepared Brother".His parents doted on him so that they prepared almost everything for him. I wonder how he can be independent and take care of himself. In dormitory, his roommates had to help him. I think he should carry normal luggage and live off campus, and learn to take care of himself by himself. We must consider everything by ourselves when we live off campus, and only by this way can learn how to independent. Tara Bryant, one of the student at the University of Kansas said “ Now I’m about to start my junior year, and just moved into an apartment that’s actually closer to my classes than Hashinger Hall was.” From Tara’s...

...1. Options Which is better, living on campus or off? It’s a question that many Lobo students ask themselves each year and we decided to help by researching and recommending which one would be most effective. 2. Evaluation Criteria To determine which option is better for the average college student, living on campus or living off, we narrowed down our criteria to the three that we believe are most important, cost, convenience and academic impact. • Cost When planning for college the first factor most think of is the cost. How much does it cost to live on campus? What is the average rent in the UNM area? What are the transportation costs? What are the extra hidden costs? With these questions we can effectively compare our two alternatives. • Benefits Benefits in this report are defined as anything that would make the students life easier or would increase comfort ability. Benefits is hard to pinpoint as it means different to each person, however, we will take the most common benefits that students prioritize such as; will I be close to college resources? What is included in my living area? How close am I to my place of interest? Answering these questions can tip the scale either way. • Academic Impact This will research grades and which housing option impacts either negatively or positively. Does living on campus help grades? Does living off campus hurt grades? Academic impact is important and should be crucial in deciding either option. 3. Research ...

...on- and off-campus student housing which is current and past as well as nearby off-campus housing most utilized by XX’s undergraduate and graduate students. The analysis included XX’s student interviews, a student survey, a survey of parents of students, and an off-campus housing analysis. The major findings of the study were that even though XX is providing sophisticated partnered housing plans, the current housing scenario doesn’t fulfill the future demand and doesn’t provide single occupancy plans. Also, parents of the students are in favor of on-campus university plans. The three major conclusions of the study were that XX establish comprehensive on-campus university housing plan, develop more university partnered off-campus housing plans to ensure and fulfill long term and future demand and develop a great number of single occupancy unit types.

...cost of living. It is something that should be considered before going to college because you have to think of things like rent, food, bills and other travel costs. A common student would need an average of $1,000 extra for these extra expenses. Third are the materials you need to study. These are the givens like books, bags, IT equipment and could cost to at least $2,000 a year. So it is important to be able to budget before you go to college. Make sure you leave yourself some extra money monthly for self use. Try to find a monthly average of your expenses so you could allocate your funds accordingly. Going to college is a big investment but in the long run the education you get would allow you to get bright opportunities when working which can make your life and family. Students could also try to get student loans, or grants to help out aiding the financial needs in college. I've researched many education grant opportunities and am really excited about this one.

...Abstract Universities and College campus are a hot topic because every year they attract and house hundreds of thousands of not always quite mature teens and young adults. The perception is that the Campus Carry Law will not be very effective and could quite possibly back fire on innocent faculty and student body members, victimizing anyone who may come in contact with one of these radically violent individuals intent on harming people. (2015) Arrigo Bruce and Acheson Austin Contemporary Justice Review, Concealed carry bans and the America college Campus. Statistically numbers are down when looking back over the past couple decades. Since 1990 there have been 143 school shooting related instances and over 450 deaths and injuries. (2006) Norton Elia and Jennifer Ansier, USA Today, Behind the Bloodshed. The very fact any person could possibly be murdered or injured by another person at any moment in America has always been known and terrifies the majority of citizens. Like many Americans I have to ask, what we can do as a Nation, one unit, to better insure the public safety of every individual. To understand this problem we must go to the root. The American System and its five sets of institutions which ultimately control American way of life. The five institutions are legal, political, economic, educational and sociocultural. All of which too often combine to leave our efforts short of progression. Introduction The issue with gun laws and the legal system have to do with the...

...that alcohol should be allowed on college campus. However, if alcohol is allowed on campus, it could possibly impact under 21 years old students and other students who don’t drink in terms of academic development and students’ health. The truth is that drinking alcohol under 21 is illegal. People may say many college students drink anyway, but officially, it is against the law. Many college students smoke pot which is also illegal, but that does not mean campuses allow students to smoke up. Although students have many reasons to drink alcohol on campus, such as events regarding friends, parties, relaxation, etc., the reality is drinking alcohol can damage all students’ physical health, emotional health, and mental health. The first reason why alcohol should not be allowed on college campuses is because it damages students’ physical health. Many students may say that researchers have pointed out that drinking a limited amount of alcohol may be beneficial. The problem is how many people can drink alcohol in a controlled manner to receive those benefits from alcohol? Even though students start to drink in a healthy way, students will ask for more and more gradually. Finally, students can likely become addicted. The addiction can take a physical tell whereby a student might need alcohol to function usually. One study by the University of Washington found that drinkers are likely to become fat over nondrinkers. Alcohol might help you nod off, but even just a few drinks can affect the...

...variety of food that OBU currently offers. In order to fix this problem, the OBU cooks need to prepare more kinds of food than they are now. Believe it or not, the kind of food that a college offers can make or break that school in the eyes of the students. With the tuition so high at OBU, the students should feel satisfied with the food that they can get with their meal plan. The only other places to eat on campus besides the cafeteria are the grill and Chick-fil-A, which does not even have a full menu. Many other colleges have better options for meals, and their price of tuition is nowhere close to OBU. An example of one such college is the University of Oklahoma. At OU, they have over 30 restaurants on campus including a Raising Cane’s, a Qdoba, a Taco Mayo, a Quiznos, and even a Chick-fil-A with a full menu just to name a few. OBU students should not be able to be burnt out on the food that is offered. The reason this happens is because the students do not have enough choices at their disposal. The OBU faculty also probably feels the same way. These people work their tails off every single day giving the students of this college an education, and they should be able to come to the cafeteria and enjoy their meal. To go into detail on the food options...

...It has been stated in each research source that hazing and particularly binge drinking is the most serious problem affecting social life, academic life, and health on college campuses today. The journal article pertaining to this issue, How Harvard’s College Alcohol Study Can Help Your Campus Design a Campaign Against Student Alcohol Abuse (CAS: Campus Alcohol Study for short), focuses more heavily on binge drinking and prevention than it does on the Greek system itself. The authors, Wechsler, Nelson, and Weitzman, contend that binge drinking is a nationally recognized problem but has not been studied efficiently enough to warrant effective prevention plans. The purpose of this article is to share with the public the results of a survey representing 50,000 students in 140 colleges, in 39 states. This is the first nationally representative survey of its kind and the analysis of its outcome by the authors of this article has resulted in seemingly sound prevention ideas. To begin interpreting the binge drinking phenomenon, a solid understanding of the term must be presented. Binge drinking is defined by all the articles as consuming five or more drinks in rapid succession (four or more for women) at least once in a two week period. Shockingly, the College Alcohol Study (CAS) found that two out of every five college students binge drink. The authors of this article argue that binge drinking has negative effects not only on the drinkers, but also on the entire student body. The binge...
