I definitely concur with the opinion that it's beneficial to live on-campus for at least a couple semesters. It's the best way to make a diverse group of friends as you adjust to college life, and it really can be a lot of fun.

I also agree that it makes life a lot less complicated, especially in terms of avoiding the whole commuting mess.

It's definitely best to live on-campus for at least a portion of your college career, but once you establish a solid group of friends, you'll definitely want to live off-campus and enjoy the freedom of having your own room to crash and hookup in, without having to worry about a roommate being there all the time.

Plus, living in an apartment prepares you somewhat for the responsibilities you'll have once you're out of school-- rent, utilities, bills, managing your finances.

But I would recommend starting out on-campus your first semester or two.
