What are the benefits of living off campus?
First and foremost, living off campus is way cheaper than living on campus! Secondly, you are guaranteed your own bedroom and do not need to share one with a roommate.
Living in your own place downtown with your closest friends is a great experience. Chilling in the living room while watching TV, or cooking together an awesome meal at a fully equipped kitchen will create amazing memories for the rest of your life!
