Money or Life?

I’m newly admitted as 2011 freshman in USC, and I have a question to ask?
What is the most important mission for international freshmen?–

Try to join in this different community in America? Or learn to master one’s daily life?

To put it specific, if I order more services such as on-campus housing, meal plan, commuter service, room with air conditioner, room with bath… I’ll spend more money, but I will care less about my personal affairs. That is to say, more time can be consumed to community activities, study, etc.
Oppositely, if I pay less on service ordering, though it would be good chance to make my self adept on personal affairs, less energy can be dedicated to study and getting myself familiar to campus life.

As for you, which aspect will you emphasize ?
For international freshmen! Who are not so rich to ignore addition expense!(since USC charges relatively more than others)

Hungry for your answers!
