I've heard that living on campus makes it easier to get involved in campus activities. Living on campus puts you close to faculty, staff, facilities, students, and student activities. A variety of activities are also organized by and for resident student staff, and resident students, including the Resident Student Association, Hall and Apartment Councils.
