Is it better for college students to rent a house or live in a dormitory

Is it better for college students to rent a house outside or live on campus? I think it depends on different stages and different schools.

First of all, if you are a freshman, I suggest living on campus. There is no need to live outside in freshman year. First, many freshmen are unfamiliar with the situation. If I need to go back to school temporarily, all the roads and vehicles are unfamiliar, which will take a long time. Second, freshmen don't have extra pocket money, so living in school will definitely be cheaper than living outside, which can reduce a sum of expenses. Third, there are many courses. I just entered my freshman year, and I still have a lot of things to do. It's inconvenient to run back and forth.

Some schools are very strict, but in fact, students are not allowed to rent a house outside by themselves. For example, he will check the bed every night and call the roll to make sure everyone is here. Anyway, our school used to be like this. When I was a junior, my roommate rented it out, but it was very troublesome every night and someone needed to come for him. However, once this behavior is discovered, it may face punishment. So if the school is not allowed to live outside, it is better to live in the school.

If you are a junior, you can actually share a room with three or two friends on the premise of school permission. But when college students rent a house outside, they must pay attention to which rental software has false information and whether the landlord is the second landlord. There are also some precautions for renting a house: the following are the things that need to be confirmed before renting a house: 1. Check whether all electrical appliances are in normal use, and try all the equipment such as water heater, washing machine, TV set, range hood and air conditioner once. 2. Check whether the circuit is aging. 3 Whether the sewers in the bathroom and kitchen are unobstructed, whether there is any peculiar smell, whether there is water leakage or water pressure, etc. 4. Ask the landlord how much the water and electricity is a ton/kwh/square, and how to pay the water and electricity, property, broadband and other expenses, whether the landlord pays or we pay ourselves. 5. Check whether all doors and windows of the house can be closed normally. 6. Ask the landlord if he can nail or stick something on the wall. 7. Check whether there is a pinhole camera in the room (focusing on the bathroom, toilet, bedroom and some small objects), and check whether the bathroom glass is double-sided glass. 8. Pay attention to the environment near the community, street lamps, cameras and other security work.
