1st year I lived in the dorms, then I lived in an on campus apartment.

First year I lived in the dorms (second semester I was practically living in a BF's on-campus apartment though). After that I rented a house with two guys.

I lived at home.

i lived in the dorm for a semester. Then spent 2.5 years in a sorority house. The last year, my roommate and I shared an apartment.

I lived in my college dorms all 4 years. the first 2 years were a standard hallway style dorm, where you share a big bathroom with all the people on your floor and have to eat in a dining hall because there is no kitchen. my last 2 years the dorms were like apartments, with shared kitchens and bathrooms for 5-6 roommates. I shared a room my first and junior years, and had my own bedroom my sophomore and senior years.

I lived in the dorms all 4 years and for 3 summers. I had a roommate my freshman year, was an RA sophomore and junior years so I had my own room, and senior year I shared a suite with friends (had my own room but shared common areas).

I lived in a dorm freshman year and half of sophomore year. I feel that dorms the first year was the best thing ever for me. As a sophomore though - AWFUL.
Then for the rest of the 3.5 years I lived at home - that wasn't much better than dorms as a sophomore, but at least it was free!

Lots and lots of places...

1st half of Freshman year: At my parents' house (thanks Katrina)
2nd half of Freshman year- all of Soph year: Dorm
Junior year: Apt with 2 friends

I then moved to a different apartment every. single. semester for the next two years. Yes, two. It took me a while to graduate By the time DH and I settled down, I had lived in over a dozen places in 6 years.

I lived at home my first year and on an apartment with my DH the other three.

I went to college 30 minutes from home, but I still lived on campus. The first year I lived in a dorm with one of my high school friends. Our other friend from high school lived down the hall. My last two years (I graduated a year early), I lived in an on campus apartment with those two friends and another girl.

I loved it! I'm still really close to my two roomies- we all actually went to dinner together last night.

Dorm the first three years. Off-campus apartment my senior year.

Freshman year - dorms. Loved them, had the best time!

Soph & Jr year - sorority house. Loved that too, living with 52 of my closest friends!

Sr year - apt with three of my best friends just off the main quad, with 12 other good friends living in the same building. Crazy times!

Grad school - an off campus (but still in campus town) apt with one good friend. Best time yet possibly!

I lived with family friends of ours, and it was really pretty fun. The mom and dad were mid 30s and had a son and daughter that were in elem/middle school when I moved in. I had my own level of the house, came and went as I pleased, but ate dinner with them when I was around and watched the kids when I was available. It was pretty awesome, and I saved a ton of money (no rent, they fed me) and gained a second family.

I lived in the dorms first year and hated it!!! I'm an introvert and only child and I never felt so stressed out and irritated my whole life. My parents made me live there "for the experience" and I was miserable. No clue why they wanted me to experience vapid girls and underage drinking... I was so uncomfortable, could never sleep and spent most of my time driving around trying to have some semblance of personal space. (The school heavily advised against students bringing cars to campus but I fought hard for that and thankfully got to. I felt like it was my only escape.) sophomore year I got a very small apartment.... Alone!!!

Dorms first year (wasn't a great friendship building experience, but it was good life-experience).

After that, a series of homes/apartments/condos with roommates. Some good, some terrible.

Dorms freshman year, then an apartment with my bff and one or two other girls the rest of the time.

@ginabean-8 person room?!?! How wa your house set up?!?! Ours was 21 2-man rooms with your typical main common areas. Not a huge house (was a regular house that wings were added to)

I went to college in a small town and everyone lived in the dorms all 4 years. At the time we all sort of wished we could be off-campus but in hindsight it was nice to be on campus with friends for 4 years.
