Advantages And Disadvantages Of Living On Campus

Decent Essays
Every kid that comes to college thinks about living on campus in the dorms. Don’t get me wrong living on campus is nice. It has its advantages and its disadvantages. There are more disadvantages to living on campus then advantages. The school could easily fix the problem so there are not so many disadvantages to being on campus.
One big problem with living on campus is that there is never any parking and if there is parking it about 500 yards away from your dorm. When the weather is no pleasant as if it is cold and snowing or a thunder storm is coming through nobody wants to walk that. So what they need to do is make more parking and enforced the sticker thing where if you don’t have the right sticker for the area you are parked then give them

They are terribly designed. They don’t have washer and driers in there. Like instead of putting two sinks in the dorm use that money to put a dish washer in there because no kid ever likes doing dishes. They give us cable for free but they couldn’t put a hook up in each room so you have to run 20 feet worth of cable from the living room and split it three ways so it’s in each room. And you have to tape it to the floor and it just looks dirt. Another is with these dorms being so small let’s throw six kids in a 3 bed apartment thing so there two to each room. That makes no room for them to walk around in their own room let alone have a desk or a dresser ion there room. So the best way to fix these problems would be to knock down the dorms. But it’s not likely that they are going to happen so they could at least put a dish washer in for us so safety doesn’t have to yell at us for not having the dishes done.

One the rock is something that high schools do we are at school to grow up. The outdoor gym is just another place for someone to get hurt trying to clime he ropes or trying to do flips off of the stuff because they think they can do parkour. They could take the money they wasted on that and put a laundry mat on campus. My least favorite thing is taking my Sunday to go do laundry 5 miles away. See if they put it on campus it would pay for itself in a year or two but that would be one of the most beneficial things I think the school could do since the race village dorms are the only ones with washers ad driers. People say it would just get trashed well you put cameras in there to watch it and if they want just flex the hours so it opens at like 7am and closes at like midnight which give kids plenty of time to do

    If one would go around and ask the constituents of College of Dupage about their biggest issue on campus some would complain about the cafeteria food chains, the educational policies but the one complaint you would hear the most would be parking. Every year there are about 28,000 students who enroll, meaning they all attend by either riding the bus or driving. Majority of them drive, considering the fact that they are also new drivers who enjoy their newfound freedom. Since that is the case most students can't find parking, therefore they look to other options such as taking the bus,carpooling, or even scheduling classes later on in the day. Most would say the best solution would be to build a bigger parking lot or parking garage, which is…

As a current student at Texas State University who resides in Blanco Residence Hall, I have personally experienced the absence of undertaken measures in regards to the issue of my residence hall’s condition.
