Consider your housing options

It is difficult as students to afford a comfortable living, but given the options of staying at home, on-campus housing, or living in a nearby residential area, I would say that living at home would be the most affordable option, for those granted that opportunity.

I currently live at home with my family, and have been for the duration of my college education. It is argued that living on campus provides a better college experience but when considering on-campus rental costs, I wonder if it is truly worth paying the price.

Kapono Santiago, who resides in Moreno Valley, believes that living at home is a better option for him, even considering the rough commute on the 215 freeway.

“You have your family and you get to run things however you want,” added Santiago, who is opposed to dealing with the unpredictability of roommates and on-campus housing regulation constraints.

On the CSUSB Office of Housing and Residential Life webpage, housing.csusb.edu, a document listing housing rates for on-campus rental fees can be found.

Prices range from $2,500 to $3,000 depending on your preference of room and choice of village (Serrano, Arrowhead, or University Village).

Since meal plans are only required for Serrano Village residents, paying a fee of $760 per quarter is mandatory in order to cover the cost of the meal plan.

Student Gabrielle Cooke resides in a condo with roommates in Highland. Cooke mentioned her deciding factors for not living at home or on-campus were affordability and proximity to her work and school. “I enjoy the people I live with, the neighborhood, the location, and freedom,” added Cooke.

She said the only downfalls to where she stays are that it is “a little pricey” and that certain neighbors aren’t always cooperative or amicable.

As for me, I live in Rancho Cucamonga with my family. Living at home does have its expenditures. For instance, I pay for my fuel, food, laundry, and other miscellaneous expenses.

I may not have to pay renting fees, but I make sure to contribute what I can and my expenditures are still cheaper than living on campus. Although space is limited and, at times, my family can be annoying, I would not want to live anywhere else just yet.

I may not have everything within my proximity, but I have enough to be comfortable and content.

This includes my place of work, my sources of entertainment, and even my friends. Residing at home allows me the opportunities to prepare for living life on my own after college.

Even with these alternative options I still would prefer living at home.

    Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host you’re utilizing?

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
    Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
    Cheers, I appreciate it!

    Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I
    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.

    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found
    a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
    pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I

    Waktu ini dapat dibuktikan begitu banyak banyak pelaku judi slots on-line yang
    dengan bekal pengetahuan dan modal yang kurang dan hasilkan beberapa keuntungan. Anda salah kalau mempunyai pemikiran seperti itu,
    karena permainan slot ini memerlukan modal yang bisa dibilang sedikit dan bisa mendatangkan keuntungan yang
    begitu besar jumlahnya. Memainkan judi slot online memang
    sangat seru apalagi essential di situs slot deposit linkaja yang menyediakan banyak
    promosi bonus yang besar. As well as being dashing to look at, this recreation additionally guarantees plenty of handsome gameplay
    action because of plenty of further bonus elements akin to increasing wild symbols, free spins and random multipliers.
    Bonus symbols embrace the wolf wild, and two bonus symbols that are a little bit spherical world and the
    game’s brand. The slot is ready against a darkish background with the
    game’s brand floating at the highest of the display. Set
    up a way to record your prospecting calls. While it is disconcerting to see a telephone set up in a unique language it is not unattainable to get it into a
    language that is less complicated to understand. Once there
    they need to see their native language as one of many choices.
