Isn ' t it common knowledge that UFC fighters and 99 % of professional athletes are on some sort of performance enhancing drug ? <| sep |> While everyone is saying that dorms are necessary for the college experience etc blah blah blah , I ' d like to advocate the opposite opinion . I live in J . East and my floor doesn ' t do much stuff together at all , I ' m always hangin out with my E . E . FIG though . Jester east community bath kinda blows for the money you pay for it . There ' s like one shower in my bathroom that heats up and heats up quickly , there ' s nasty pubes in the corners of the shower stalls , people pee all over the seats , smells like shit in there , bathroom also cold af , washing machines on my floor like don ' t take bevo bucks or something and they always eating people ' s change . ON THE OTHER SIDE , living in the dorms is super convenient too , you can get a really cheap OK breakfast for like $ 4 downstairs at JCL you could make breakfast yourself even cheaper tho , people are always hanging out on campus around the jester pcl san jac area so you ' re always really close , it ' s relatively peaceful compared to west campus IMO . also definitely don ' t live in creekside or duren or kinsolving , they are very far from all the places your friends will be at . If cost is a big factor in your decision you could live in BRP or moore hill which are close and cheaper than jester , some of those buildings dont have sinks in the rooms though . If you want to live in an apartment , i ' d highly recommend doing so , my business major friend and I wish we were already in our apartment we preleased for next year , his roommate is a shithead and I feel cramped in my dorm . I typed this out kind of just randomly , if you want me to elaborate on anything i said shoooot me a DM . edit in west campus you have to deal with stuff like this and my friend ' s s i c c strategy is live in dorm freshman year , live in west campus sophomore year , live in north campus hyde park somewhere peaceful junior and senior year .
