“Moving into a dorm very often requires a roommate” (Berry). For some this can represent a major lifestyle change. They must learn to share space and possibly reside with complete strangers. If you decide to live at home you will not have to consider these possible problems. Dorm living can come with a tremendous amount of freedom. Moving out of your parents' roof means they are not there to influence your decisions, such as bedtimes and making good choices. If you decide to live at home during college, you may continue to have strict rules and limited freedom. The final lifestyle to consider when making a decision is socialization. Dorm life allows you to meet people outside of your usual social scene. With multiple campus activities available, there are opportunities to create a feeling of connection and push you to participate in events outside your comfort zone. “Living at home may not offer you the same experiences or opportunities, but it can keep you connected to your friends from home”
