Living On Campus vs Off Campus while Studying in Malaysia

To be living On Campus or Off Campus? There are many factors to consider when deciding whether to live on or off-campus. Some universities may require the first year to live on-campus. But it depends whether the campus has this rule or not. There is no single decision that is best for everyone. Your decision should be based on a variety of individual factors. So, you must ask yourself these questions before deciding which accommodation option you will select.

What are your Transportation Options?

Most students who live on campus don’t require transportation unless they have jobs requiring them to travel outside. Because public transportation in big cities can be slow and inconvenient, students without cars may prefer to live on campus.

No Privacy Living On Campus?

An advantage of living away from campus is the ability to maintain one’s privacy. In addition to living in dorms with others, most students have to report to resident assistants, who act as guardians for them. Even though living with roommates off-campus in an apartment can limit privacy, there are no dorm rules, curfew hours, or shared bathrooms to contend with.

Is there any Good Food Living On Campus?

More food choices are another perk of living away from campus. Student dorms typically have microwaves or hot plates, but they don’t usually have full kitchens… On-campus dining options could include a cafeteria or restaurants. As a result, students do not have the luxury of purchasing and preparing their own healthy meals.

Job and Commitments

Some students find it easier to live off-campus because they work irregular hours. Some students prefer to live alone and work more, which allows them to come home and relax without dealing with the usual noise of their dorm roommates.

Finances and Roommates

As a general rule, living on campus is less expensive. The cost of living off-campus with multiple roommates in a cheap home may be the same as living on-campus.

For the vast majority of college students, roommates are a significant issue both on and off-campus. Students who live on campus have little say in who their roommates are. However, students who live off-campus may choose their roommates or at least have a broader range of options to choose from. On-campus private rooms may be available to students who cannot share a room with others for legitimate or medical reasons.

Living Expenses & Security

One of the main advantages of living on campus is that most of the costs are paid for by the university. No cable, Internet, or utility bills are required. Students have access to these on campus, but not in off-campus housing or apartments. For the most part, these costs should be considered when deciding to live off-campus.

Private apartments with 24-hour security are out of reach for the majority of students. A quick phone call will get you in touch with a campus security guard who is on duty at all hours of the day and night. Make a list of your own preferences to see which option is best. Determine how much money you have to work with and your personal preferences before making a decision.

Is Living On Campus or Off Campus Better for You?

After thinking about the points above, there should be a preference that you personally would want to study in. Always remember that you’ll need the best environment you can get to help ease your studying journey. Good luck!
