Most students start out living on campus and have different experiences in different dorms. Staff writer Ashley Cruz asked students: What did you like best about on-campus housing?

“I lived in Morrison in my freshman year and that was really nice because there were a lot of freshmen when I was there, so you kind of got acquainted with a lot of other people who had no idea what they were doing, and we all figured it out together. It was a good community in Morrison and it was nice not being that far from classes. Sophomore year I lived in Ram Village 3 and the best part of that was the athletes that were down there. It was so much fun to get to see them and get to know them. There were a lot of cookouts and parties in the quad between the Ram Villages. It was a little bit more of an adult atmosphere in the Ram Village apartments.”

“You run into people that you don’t really run into. There is a different environment than like being in classes. You tend to befriend your suitemates and people on your floor. It is more of a community in a sense.”
