Staying Off-Campus Saves You Money

School hostels are cheaper in many parts of the world, but students don’t take note of certain hidden charges that come with staying on campus, one of which is the cleaning and certain utilities that are freely available to students off-campus, but the real money sucker on-campus hostels aren’t the hidden charges but the rent time frame.

A student staying off-campus will be billed for a whole year (12 Months) while a student staying on campus will be billed per session which is 8 months. So after a session of 2 semesters is over, you need to start hunting for storage places to keep all your stuff – So unfair

More Space That Is Yours

You are no longer stuck in a shared space measured 8 – 8 feet, some hostels have it bad that the space is shared with more than 2 other occupants, off-campus you are exposed to accommodations that suit your housing needs, large closets, multiple bathrooms, they can be all yours. Beyond the space, students who stay off-campus enjoy the privilege of privacy, students love the privacy and they prefer to keep it that way, staying off-campus makes that possible.

This is also great for those students that need to get out of the hustle and bustle of staying on campus and need a little downtime with themselves to keep their mental health strong, nothing beats the privacy of your own home.

Better Support System – You Get To Decide For You

Staying on campus has its cons and not being in control of who you share your space with has to be a major turn off. Unlike staying off-campus, you get to choose who stays with you, who you believe you’ll live best with, and who can offer you the best off-campus experience for as long as you choose.

Because of this, most people live with friends or like-minded individuals that whom they can trust and get along with. This is great because you’re able to create a strong support system with those around you. Not to mention, what’s more fun than getting to be with your friends around the clock? (Hopefully, they are friends that will encourage you to read and not binge Netflix every other day)

Get to Know Your City

There’s a completely different vibe when you live off-campus, for one you’ll have the opportunity to explore the city you are living in until you graduate, and those 10 minute walks within your neighbourhood can do you so much good especially in connecting with the city dwellers.

As you’ll no longer be completely cooped up on campus, you’re more likely to want to see what’s around you away from school. You’ll get to explore the best grocery stores and supermarkets, what restaurants you enjoy and your favourite place to grab a late-night snack. It’s the best way to learn about everything your city has to offer!

Staying off campus provides a very different experience for students till they graduate from school. I hope this helps your decision on where to live.
