Pros and cons lists are frequently written out by students trying to choose between on-campus and off-campus life.
Financially, off-campus reigns. Students flee out of the dorms come sophomore year because of MSU's expensive, required dining plan among other price hikes.
"I'm excited to start cooking my own food and having control over what to buy instead of just being supplied food," said accounting sophomore Callan Tigani.
Convenience tends to draw student residents closer to campus, the price is justified by the quick walks between classes and centralized location.
Apartment complexes have caught on through attempting to move closer to campus such examples as Cedar Village Apartments, the complex could charge more due to location.
Independence in college is a blessing, kids seizing their new found freedom might identify the dorms as another way parents can have a watchful eye. While apartment life, a rite of passage, can decrease the inevitable dependence.
"When I went to college all I wanted to do was find my place on my own. I craved freedom from my parents," said MSU alumna Nancy Somers.
A variety of reasons dictate between on and off campus, students must weigh both sides.
