On-Campus or Off-Campus dorms?

When choosing on campus housing, students have the choice of choosing from on campus housing or off campus housing. On campus housing options include Residence Commons, International House, Parkside Commons, Los Alamitos and Los Cerritos and the off campus building, Residence Learning Center.

Although the on-campus dorms give students the convenience of not having to travel, most students would agree the off- campus RLC is nicer and better updated. Jesse Harren, a sophomore who lives in RLC says that he enjoys the amenities and the separation of the RLC building. "I like that i am separated from campus while still receiving all the benefits of an on campus dorm. Its like RLC is its own little community."

RLC has benefits that the on campus dorms don't have, like wifi, bigger rooms, air conditioning and less people sharing the bathroom. RLC also has an on site pool, study lounges and a multipurpose room with ping pong tables.

Although RLC has many perks that the on campus dorms don't have, students pay a higher price and aren't as close to campus. Many students enjoy that they can roll out of bed and make it to class. Eden Michele, a freshmen who lives in Parkside, is a late sleeper and enjoys that she can still get to class in time. "I always sleep past my alarm and if I wasn't living on campus, I would never make it to class on time"
