Living on campus is not a requirement at NC State however, I would HIGHLY suggest it. When you live on campus, you have connections to resources and events that you might miss if you were living on campus. It provides you with opportunities to get involved on campus as well as interact and meet new people that may potentially become you lifelong friends. Living on campus also teaches you to live and learn with someone else. This is a huge adjustment since most people do not share their room with anyone at home. It teaches you to be respectful of others property and the value of compromise and adjustment. Events happen on campus everyday of the week throughout the entire academic year. Living on campus, you have easy access to these activities and you are more informed about the information and resources that are available to you. Most freshmen do live on campus and have a wonderful experience of becoming adapted and feeling like they are a part of the university. Many sophomores also decide to return to live on campus do to their experiences that living on NC State’s campus has given them. My years of living on campus have been very rewarding and each year I have found something new and wonderful with being so connected to the university life.
