There is +'s and -'s about living on campus. I would recommend living on campus for at least a year. I believe you could ask for a roommate more your age also. The advantages that I rembember are easy walking distance to classes, dont have to worry about cooking-although most are not great, the food is not bad. It sounds like you will be going somewhere where you will not know anyone so you can meet people easier living on campus. I was lucky and got good roomates. The bad side to living on campus is a little lack of privacy, other roomates or people in the next room talking or playing music, while you are trying to sleep-but you can get them back in the early morning.
As far a picking a college what is more important partying or education? Do your research and make sure that the program you want is good on campus then check for the parties and other activities. As far as joining a fraturnity, I never did but if I had it to do all over again, I might of joined. I was a manager on the football team, which paid for my tuition. I dont know if the bigger schools would pay all the way or not. You would probably have to work for free for a while-a semester or two, but would be worth it in the long run. The travel was really fun too.
