“ The responsibility like cleaning and providing for yourself forces you to act in a mature way .”
Living in campus has been really different to living at home but you get adapted to college life pretty quickly . On the first few days most of us were confused on where to go , and how to get there without getting lost , etc . This experience has been going pretty well so far and having a more freedom than we usually do back in the high school feels amazing . But that also means more responsibility into getting to class in time or feeling the need to skip your next class . It made me a little more comfortable into leaving for college and live on my own in an apartment or dorm . It might not be as private as you would like it to be but it doesn ’ t really matter if you learn how to cope and live with that person you have to move-in with later on in college . I am attached to my home and haven ’ t really lived somewhere for a period of time longer than a few days so this has changed my perspective on leaving my home . - Angela
Living on campus has been one of the best experiences in my high school career . It gives me the independence of being completely in charge of my own work and allows me to become comfortable and familiar with the campus . Having room and dorm mates who are all around my same age is also pleasant . I am good friends with some of the girls on my floor and feel like I have developed a strong support system that will be around for quite a while . -Elizabeth

DORM LIFE

To be honest living on campus is a bit exhausting . The responsibility like cleaning and providing for yourself forces you to act in a mature way . The pros of living on campus is convince of dorm-mates , classes being nearby , and safety . Dorm-mates allows for networking and the opportunity to meet new people . Dorm-mates could help with homework , or borrowing things . Classes nearby means the opportunity to sleep a bit more , which is crucial . Safety because per se if you rent an apartment , you don ’ t necessarily know who your neighbor is . There is cameras and actual officers monitoring the campus probably 24 / 7 . - Christopher
Living on campus has been a good experience so far . I ’ ve been granted the chance to know how it would feel like living as a college student . It has taught me to be more independent because now I can ’ t really depend on my family because they live miles away from me . It helped me by making me more prepared for when I leave for more than a month and it also has taught me to be more social so I won ’ t be a lone . In conclusion , living on campus has been a great experience . - Daisy
I ’ ve enjoyed staying here at the UTA campus . There is definitely a great community within the student populace . The teachers are friendly and always helpful as well . I do believe that this experience thus far has better prepared me to move away for college , and I will be given a great advantage when I do so thanks to the UBMS program . - Antonio
