It is actually more expensive to live off campus. You will need to sign a 12 month lease for an apartment, you will be limited to park in Commuter Lots (further away), and will miss out on the full university experiences. You can get a single room with bath for $2300-$2800/semester. An unlimited meal card is $1855/semester. Consider too, what if you and your boyfriend split up? I'm sure that doesn't seem like an option at this time but it would be a "nightmare" if you are living together. Who moves out, who stays, who pays the other for 1/2 the rental and utilities deposits? Would you be able to get campus housing at that point? Lots to think about and It's good you are doing it well ahead of time.<br><b>References : </b><br> Try Florida State University: http://fsu.edu/index.html.

Rules like that apply to people who live a certain distance away. The distances vary from college to college but anyway, if you had a place to live close to the school, the rule wouldn't apply. In other words, if you lived 300 miles from the college, it might require you to live in a dorm freshman year. But if you had an apartment near campus, you wouldn't have to. Anyway, most colleges don't have a rule like that, and if you're going to be living together (presumably in some type of apartment) near campus anyway, you won't have a problem finding one. :)<br><b>References : </b><br> Actually, your information is slightly confused.
