I just got admission into Texas a and m for the spring of next year and i was wondering if it is better to live in a campus dorm or find an apartment of campus?
which of the options is cheaper?
and what are the benefits of living on campus and living off campus?
Also what apartments are the cheapest but best places to live off campus?
best to live on campus to find friends and a fit for at least a while. not sure if you would be able to get in a dorm in the spring, but it would be worth a try. or call someone and ask.
kids can get by for less if they get off campus and share a room.
there are MANY apartments, i don't know which ones are cheapest. IMO i wouldn't want to live in the cheapest apartment i could find. eew!
