Dormitory housing provides a great college experience because students can meet other new students. The dorms provide lots of food three times a day, seven days a week, all year long. Homestay housing provides students with an opportunity to live with a local family. Apartment housing is cheaper than living in the dorms or homestay with the right apartment. Students have to cook their own meals but can eat anytime, unlike dormitory or homestay housing.
Apartments feature more space and more privacy.
