WHAT IS DORMING AND WHAT IS IT LIKE?
WHAT IS DORMING AND WHAT IS IT LIKE?
For most students, living in a dorm means having roommates, unless you’re lucky enough to get a room to yourself. You share common areas like kitchens, study lounges, and laundry rooms, which can sometimes be uncomfortable. However, living with roommates is a great way to meet other students, network, and build community.
off-campus vs. on-campus housing
off-campus vs. on-campus housing
On-campus housing implies that students will be required to live on campus and residence halls that are located within the premise of the campus.
Off-campus housing implies that students will live away from the college campus, but still in proximity to the campus itself. Surprisingly, this option is mostly less expensive than living on-campus because of housing fees you pay when dorming on campus as opposed to living off-campus and renting a place per semester.
CUNY offers campus-sponsored housing, and off-campus housing. Dorm and housing options are available to ALL CUNY students
