As soon as you decide where you want to go to school, you should start thinking about where you want to live.
Most campuses have a housing office to help.
At some schools there are more students who want to live on campus than there are rooms available, so check in with the housing office early. You must complete an application to reserve your room. This application is usually separate from the application to attend college. Another choice is to rent or share a house or apartment close to campus. You will find that most university housing offices can help you select the right living environment.
