1. More independence and freedom: Off-campus living typically offers greater autonomy. Students have more control over their living environment, roommates, and lifestyle choices compared to dorm life, which often has stricter rules and regulations.
2. More privacy: Off-campus housing usually provides more personal space and privacy than a dorm room, which can be shared with one or more roommates. This can be particularly beneficial for students who value quiet study time or need more personal space.
