Living Accommodations (On Campus vs. Off Campus)

Introduction

Before entering college, young people should choose a major and a university. However, students have to do a lot of choices and decisions.

Firstly the most important advantage of living off campus is that a student can choose his/her own roommates. As there as students coming from different countries they have their own culture values and way of living (Shieldsm, 1994). So it makes a student feasible to choose their respective roommates according to their own values and culture.
