Every minute in a college level class counts. You may have heard that on-campus kids can't party because of their living quarters. Shove a ton of people into a shoebox room, add music and laughter and there's no better party. Living in such close quarters leaves no room for awkwardness. The average dorm room measures 15 x 12 .
Roommates have no choice but to get along.
There's simply no room for anything else. The extra room provides an excuse for friends to grow distant. Moving to a new town means meeting new people. Friends from high school change. Living off campus with friends makes an unsaid pact to stay with each other no matter what.
