Living in Shores, Cone and Searcy Halls offered many benefits, including the accommodations to cook meals. FROM COO~ING TO COMMUTING, COMPARES WITH Students found that both offcampus and on-campus living offered benefits. From eating to traveling, students dealt with everyday activities in different environments. "I prefer living on campus," senior Maria Galan said. "I like hanging out with my friends after curfew. It's not something you can really do if you live off campus." Students living off campus enjoyed other benefits. Ideally, offcampus students could rest in peace in the luxury of a quiet room every night. Cafeteria food was no longer an issue; however, the chore of cooking dinner alone was a new challenge. Some things remained the same. Most off-campus students tended to abide by curfew and all other rules that applied to students on campus. "I live off campus, but I don't think there is much difference with the rules, since there is nothing to do anyway," junior Daniela Corrales said. "Living off campus is great," senior Sharon Grove said. "After three years of living on campus, I was ready for more private living quarters. Another bonus was the termination of good housekeeping. Now I can keep my room as I wish." Many on-campus students enjoyed the convenience of being close to campus. There is no commute to campus or struggle for parking. "I love living off campus, but I miss waking up 15 minutes before class to make the short sprint to the building," senior Ryan Lee said. "Now I have to wake up with ample time to make the drive." Other on-campus students enjoyed the pure fun of on-campus life. Men enjoyed the infamous hall slipand-slide nights in the dorm, and women utilized the time to raid each other's closets. "Slip-and-slide night is the best; it's great time to be spent with the guys," sophomore Stephen Smith said. -Cheryl Brand Justin John-Kingstown, St. Vincent, West Indies. Business Management.
