长者生活社区

As you get older and older at 菲律宾十大彩票平台 your housing options get increasingly better. As a first-year at 菲律宾十大彩票平台, you have to be in 学生宿舍. 有很多学生宿舍 生活的选择 open to first-year students including substance-free, all first-year floors, and more. But regardless, first-years live in 学生宿舍—it’s all part of the experience. After your first year, the options open up a bit more. There are more options for different 学生宿舍 to live in and 感兴趣的房子 敞开心扉. 大三时，选择差不多是一样的. 

但到了高三，奇迹才会发生. The world is pretty much your oyster (of course it all still depends on your 画出数字). But, I couldn’t be more happy with my living situation this year, and most seniors I know are too. 所以今天, I’ll give you some examples of the 生活的选择 open to seniors, 以及每种方法的优缺点.

选项1: 学生宿舍 

老信徒. When you’re a senior, you’ll already be pretty familiar with what living in a residence hall is like. But the options are still markedly better than those available to first-years. Most seniors living in 学生宿舍 will either live in a single or suite-style room. Singles are preferable for those who like having their own dedicated space. Suites on the other hand are for people who want to live with their friends but would prefer living in the central locations of 学生宿舍 such as 戴维斯, 詹姆斯, or Sevy. Living in a residence hall also means staying on the 膳食计划, a pro for those who hate cooking and a con for those who crave it. One thing to note is: as it is a residence hall, living in a suite means you’re still sharing some facilities and spaces with the rest of the students on your floor, 所以总的来说，你得到的“私人”空间更少了. 

整体

Residence halls are perfect for people who want more of the same, but maybe just a little bit elevated from their old digs.

选项2: 联排别墅

联排别墅 are an extremely popular and desirable option amongst seniors. Living in the 联排别墅 usually means living extremely close to the rest of your friends since many seniors tend to end up here. 联排别墅 are overall pretty similar to the suite-style rooms available in 学生宿舍 (a combination of rooms, 共享的公共空间, 还有浴室). They differ mainly due to their complete separation from the other 联排别墅 and they come equipped with full kitchens. 由于厨房空间, people living here have the option to be on a reduced 膳食计划 or be completely off-board, 自己做饭. 

Students tend to gravitate towards these spaces as they are more conducive to hosting events and hanging out with friends. The townhouse location is also desirable as it is situated right between the central campus and downtown 诺思菲尔德 with easy access to all the fun located in both spots.

整体

联排别墅 are perfect for students who want to live by many of their friends or want a change from dorm life.

选项3: 诺思菲尔德选项

诺思菲尔德 option is definitely the black sheep of the housing options since you’re not technically living at 菲律宾十大彩票平台 at all! Even though 菲律宾十大彩票平台 is a primarily residential campus, every year select seniors are able to live in houses/apartments in the 诺思菲尔德 community with their friends instead of living in 菲律宾十大彩票平台-owned housing. 诺思菲尔德 option homes are usually located a bit further off campus, but never too far away (no more than a 15-minute walk to class). 

The main reason students usually pick 诺思菲尔德 option is you get a bit more privacy. There is no more RA to monitor you or other students around to snoop on your business. Additionally, you have a whole house, yard and all—just like your one at home. But living in a house also means, you have to figure some stuff out. Living “诺思菲尔德选项” requires you to cook your meals for yourself, 自己去杂货店买东西, 为自己清洗. So, it’s definitely more of a commitment than the other two options, 所以选择这门课的学生必须做好准备!

整体

诺思菲尔德 option is perfect for students who want a bit more privacy and space and are willing to sacrifice some conveniences of 菲律宾十大彩票平台-owned housing for them!

我的过程

This year when I was looking for housing, I struggled a lot! There were so many good options and all of them were so appealing to me. Since there are so many options during senior year, picking roommates and settling on what everyone wants can be hard. Ultimately, I decided to draw a house with a couple of my friends. We all wanted to be able to cook for ourselves but didn’t mind the idea of 菲律宾十大彩票平台 still cleaning our house. 于是我们选定了新家: 普伦蒂斯的房子. 诚实, 这对我来说是完美的, and every senior I’ve talked to has been just as happy with their choices as well. 你不会出错的!
