Dorm life. Is it worth living on campus?

<p>Yeah one the reasons I didn’t go to Berkeley was you got hosed on the housing. You could either stay in a dorm and get food with it but be with freshman, or live off campus or in their off campus apartments, and end up paying the same or more without food. UCLA is the same way, but I knew I’d live on campus and the housing is a lot cheaper anyways. </p>

<p>I guess it depends if you feel like you are throwing free money away, which is how I felt. </p>
