If you had the chance to live on residence while studying at school, would you?

Hey guys, I'm in my first year of College, and am currently living on residence. It's pretty awesome with all the party's and independence that you gain, but if I was ever given the chance to live on residence again, I wouldn't. Why? Well, living with a bunch of teenagers who have no sense of what quiet means already gives you an idea.
 
So, my whole reason for posting this, is I want to know about your experiences with living on residence/campus good or bad. And hopefully, those of you who aren't in College or University yet may get an idea of what it's like. Happy posting.

A lot of the big oil refineries here in Alberta let people live in camps at the job site for free, which is awesome. So I voted yes.

I am kinda homesick , so no.

Yeah, sure.  Why not?  I mean, the presence of a cafeteria (where tons of food is almost always available, without YOU having to cook a goddamn thing) is awesome, and probably the thing I miss the most.  Other than that, the rooms were kinda cozy, but livable.  And, even though the bathroom is communal, at least it was cleaned every day.  Of course, the proximity to cute girls that you have no reason to not offend is cool.  Plus, I'm legal now, so I could drink in there and not get in trouble.  If I could get a room with one of my friends, I totally would.
 
The RA's were pretty good at keeping people quiet during school-imposed "quiet hours" (11pm-8am during the regular school year, all the time during finals), so that was never a problem for me.  Actually...  It was more of a problem for me when I moved out of the dorms and into an "off-campus" residence.

I did for my freshman year and it was a worthwhile experience.  I made some good friends that year that I am sure I wouldn't have otherwise.  Interestingly enough, none of them were my roommates, but it doesn't matter.  It was certainly cheaper than when I was renting an apartment.  Granted, there are more restrictions and less privacy, but for one or two years that is a fine trade-off.  I'd go for it.  As for the noise level of roommates, I usually went to the campus library for intense study time.  Also, the housing laundry mat is a good place since no one ever hangs out there.  I had 7 roommates in my condo-like dormitory.

No. Absolutely not. Never again will I live under anyone's roof except my own. In college/uni I moved off campus as soon as I possibly could, which was after the first year. The dorm was awful. I hated it. The lack of privacy and consideration, people constantly taking my shit, the unfriendly atmosphere (everyone always had their door closed, because they were drinking themselves stupid in their room and didn't want other people to see), and all those fucking bullshit rules you had to follow that made no sense. Then there was the floor meetings. A new one every week, which was never good and always felt like getting yelled at for doing something I didn't do. Ugh! I hated the dorms.

well, i live with alot of chinese people on my floor and people from thailand and korea on the floor above, im swedish.
It was nice earlier when there were other westerners living here but now im alone with all these asians. Also there is only one single girl here, and she's not so good looking :(
 
There are good and bad parts with it, it's cheap and you learn about different cultures, however there is no isolation and i can fucking hear it when my neighbours have sex...

I lived on rez 2 of the 3 years I was in school. First year was awesome, alot of parties ect. It was a good social experience. Second year I asked to be specifically put in that quieter end of the residence. We were lucky enough to have a residence that they could seperate the party people from people who needed quite-time. It worked out pretty good. Except I lived with a Arabic dude who loved too cook curry. And I'm sorry, that shit stinks worse than shit itself.

I can walk to pretty much any type of food establishment in less than 5 minutes, so yes.

Not if I can live at home.  I'd rather save the money than have the "college roommate"  experience.

" Not if I can live at home.  I'd rather save the money than have the "college roommate"  experience. "

Yes, I would.  I went to a community college for my first two years, so I missed out on living on campus, and just commuted every day from my parents house.  I've heard friends say that the second they started college at their universities, where they were dorming, they gained a hundred new friends because of the social nature of living on campus.  Meanwhile I was stuck going to a highly impersonal, hands-off community college, where if I wanted to make new friends, I had to go out of my way to make them... they weren't just handed to me on a silver platter the first day I moved in.  
 
I was too stubborn to accept it then, but now I've come to terms with the fact that I really could have used more acquaintances in my life, and I really do regret going to community college those two years.
