Going off to college is a hard transition for many students to overcome. These young adults go from being a big fish in a small pond, to a small fish in a vast ocean. As a result, some students desire to live at home instead of on campus because of this challenging transition. This creates controversy among people whether or not it is beneficial for first-year students to live on campus. Although some people believe that incoming freshman should not be required to reside on campus, living on school grounds improves a student’s college experience; therefore, it is beneficial for first-year students to live on campus because they are closer to resources, learn how to become more independent, and have more opportunities to get involved.
