When deciding where to live during the school
year, students must often consider both economic
and social factors. The advantages and disad
vantages vary according to one's choice.
Doug Zatechka, director of student housing, said
a student's mat urity and spending habits should be
major considerations, particularly for off-campus
residents.
Zatechka said apartment-dwelling students ()ften
lose money because they don't understand the obli
gations of their lease. He said buying excessive
amounts of groceries, which many times are left to
spoil or are thrown away, also is a disadvantage of
apartment living.
"Living in the residence halls is a hedge against
inflation," he said. "Regardless of increases in price
for services provided by the university, the cost to
students will remain the same during the academic
year."
Despite the problems of apartment living many
students choose off-campus quarters. Many say the
privacy they enjoy is worth sacrificing the conven
iences of on-campus living. They say living off
campus affords unlimited visitation privileges. Stu
dents living on campus may have visitors of the
opposite sex no later than 2 a.m.
Other advantages of apartment living emphasize
a student's growth in maturity as a result of the
added responsibility, said Vernon Williams, director
of the counseling center. He said many of the stu
dents he has worked with claim to study better.

However, off-campus living has its disadvantages
too.
'These students are out of the mainstream of
campus live and are therefore less likely to get
involved in campus activities."
With the pros and cons of on- or off-campus living,
deciding where to live can be a difficult choice. Hut,
if you chose not to live in an apart ment or a resi
dence hall room, there are always the co-ops and
fraternity and sorority houses.
Jayne Anderson, director of Panhellenic Affairs
said sororities and fraternities are similar to resi
dent halls as far as room and board are concerned.
However, they do differ in that the houses and the
land are privately owned. Therefore, each member
of a house m ust pay city and county property taxes.
These costs are assessed in their total housing
payments.
