He wishes that he had gone that route…both people will end up applying to med school. He didn’t like that he had to take chemistry and biology every semester. Living on campus was convenient, but not a deal breaker when comparing it to living off campus. Our Takeaways: A car is a necessity in College Station and getting connected to positive people is essential. Rent is about 350-500 a month for 11 months. The driving factors for us was a good group of girls and it is cheaper. I will still buy a parking pass & a smaller meal plan. She is moving into a room in their house. So…with my daughter…she has a group of friends already there (good girls that make good choices–very important). We finally allowed him to live off campus in a house his junior year, and it has been better (cheaper and he is happier because no upperclassmen live on campus…this isn’t true, but it is the perception.) He stayed on campus his sophomore year too (he had his own room). So we ended up sending his car back with him at spring break. I was stressed about that…yes, the small things. (outside tutoring, grocery store visits, church, bible study, and haircuts). We ended up paying so much in uber fees-more than gas. The second semester we took his car because he was having too much fun:) That ended up being a big mistake for us. He would ride his bike to/from the parking garage. He couldn’t get the parking lot next to his dorm. The first semester he lived on campus with a car. We currently have a junior at A&M, and so we have “learned” what works best for us. I only say this since it sounds like it’s an option. A car is extremely beneficial if available. Just curious as to reason of car or no car. Lastly, did you DD decide on campus or off? We are struggling to figure out best plan- off campus with car or on campus no car… going pre-med route via Public Health. : May I ask what you ultimately decided and why?Īnd thank you!!! Omg the word “rate” makes a big difference- I can’t believe I missed that point.
