What are the advantages and disadvantages of living on-campus?
All freshman students who are not from the Terre Haute area are required to live on-campus. The advantages of living on campus include: There is easy access to campus resources (library, classrooms, food service, athletic facilities, intramural sports, etc.); you are surrounded by students who are taking the same classes and, as a result, are facing the same questions or having the same problems as you are; upperclassmen are nearby and will be able to provide assistance with homework problems; there are fewer distractions since everything is provided on campus; there is some time saving since it is not necessary to drive back and forth to campus. The disadvantages are few: For Terre Haute area students it is obvious that it is less expensive to commute; other students may find that they can spend less money on food by living in an apartment.
