<p>Which is better?</p>
<p>By ‘renting rooms’ do you mean living off campus? If that’s what you’re talking about, I would say living on campus is better, you get to know people more easily, and it’s usually cheaper, depending where you go to school.</p>
<p>Where I go, it’s about $2800 per semester for dorms, while the average single room in another residence is about $500 per month, with some costing much higher and others costing as low as $300 per month.</p>
