Through this podcast we will weigh the pros and cons of staying on campus versus staying off campus. The best way to decide is by choosing what matters the most to you.

Here are the key highlights of the podcast -

Reasons to live On-campus

Accessibility - Everything is close by and affordable. You practically pay nothing for travelling to the college and you will also get the chance to avail student benefits at a discounted price. You will have everything sorted from accommodation, food, WiFi, electricity, water, stationery, gym, restaurants among many other things.

Social Life - The university is the center for all student interactions. On just stepping out of your dorm room you will be welcomed by students all over the university at all times. You would be exposed to a diverse bunch of students with whom you can network and interact. 

Security - Security is of utmost importance. Parents are much easily convinced about on campus accommodation because the safety standards are far more superior than the rest of the city in general. Within the university campus, you will be safely guarded by on campus police and security teams patrolling day and night.

Benefits of living off-campus

Personal Liberty - Liberty, independence and self reliance are the greatest gifts of staying off campus. You will be interacting with people from all walks of life and all ages which add to your experiences and level of maturity.

Availability - Some universities do not offer on campus hostel services. In such cases students can explore accommodation options around the university. Students can therefore look for a place that matches their requirements.

Space and Privacy - Your time at the university would require you to spend quality time in solitude. This means if you get an apartment just for yourself and a friend, you wouldn't be continuously surrounded by an overwhelmingly large number of people. 

The final verdict - The final verdict is clearly a personal choice. The benefits and disadvantages of both have clearly been laid out for you. The best way to decide is to evaluate what is best for you. Having said that, remember that you will always have a flexibility to move on or off campus. Do tell me in the comments your point of view!
