which is/was better: Dorm, Room for Rent or Apt?

[Phrozhen.Khold]

Back in college... my friends and I rented a whole house thats near the school... its actually cheaper than renting a whole room or an apartment... mostly because we knew the owner...

I experienced living in two dorms when I was still in college in UP Madilim, este, Diliman.

 

1) Kalayaan Residence Hall - This is the co-ed dorm for all freshmen. I liked this dorm because we were taken care of by senior students. Every floor (from basement to the third floor for both the female and male wings) had one senior or graduate student in charge. We also had a lot of social activities to make us freshies feel welcome, at home and not experience "culture shock." Food was also provided but we didn't have a choice. We had soup with sago once a week if I remember it correctly. The only other hassle in this dorm was you had to be inside the dorm before 8pm every night and if you had to go home for the weekend, there was a pass that you have to show and a log-in sheet to sign. I don't know if that's still the practice today.

 

Once you're a sophomore though, you have to move to other dorms like Molave or somewhere else.

 

2) Camia Residence Hall - This is one of the dorms for sophomore to senior female UP studes. Like Kalayaan, food was also provided. I didn't like this dorm a lot because instead of having just one room mate like in Kalayaan, I had three roommates! One roommate was a nerd, one was a socialite, and one was a man-freak. I was the invisible one because I always went home at least twice a week. I was like a square peg that just couldn't fit in.

 

Man, if i had money to rent an apartment then, I would've done that and lived the way I wanted to live. Yeah, right ... as if my Mom would allow me to live alone. Ahihihi.

maganda sa dorm - masaya.

 

okey sa room for rent - privacy

 

apartment - tipid sa motel

i satyed in a dorm before kaya lang masyado maingay pero marami ka namang barkada. after that i rented a studio type apartment for privacy.mahirap mag aral kung maingay. distracting din yung ingay pag naglalaba ako.

stayed in a dorm for three months during my freshman year at a village along katipunan. it was horrible. it was an all girls' digs and all the girls were from miriam. i was made to feel left out. ok lang. what got to me was the place itself. it was icky. i had bed bug bites all the time. eventually convinced my parents to just let me carpool to and from home.

was renting an apartment nung nagrereview for board exams...

[ewan.co]

board lang... mas maraming kang escapades...

apartment... mas may privacy ka... pwede kayo ng GF mo dun...

kung house... pwede isa sa bawat room...

[sandy_na]

apartment, mas maganda kasi ikaw lang mag isa para maiwasan yung nakawan. uso kasi sa dorm ang nakawan at inggitan. kaya sa apartment isa ka lang at pwede ka pang makapag luto at mag invite ng friends para doon kumain at tipid pa.
