Pros of Living Off Campus

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. Youll meet new people
  faster, be close to your classes, and have no
  worries about paying utility bills and dealing
  with a landlord.

• 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 youll only need to share if you want
  to. Plus, youll 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. Youll learn how to grocery shop
  and prepare meals, arrange for maintenance and
  repairs, and read and sign contracts.

• 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. Youll 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 dont damage the unit or bother your
  neighbours, what you do is up to you.

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

• Its 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, youll be able to walk to classes.

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