When I was doing all my school applying, I actually didn't want to live on Rez, and was completely OK with the fact of living with some randoms or worst case scenario: living on my own. But after talking with some friends they all said. "rez is the best college experience, it's where you'll meet all your future best friends and roommates and blah blah blah" so I went for it. I applied and got a room in residence.
But in retrospect... I SO REGRET IT. First semester wasn't that bad cause I actually got an awesome roommate especially based on the people on my floor. The thing about my College's rez, is it's one BIG GIANT rectangle. One way in. One way out. There's no special towers and buildings placed around like other schools. So it's almost TOO big to actually meet people, then their also apartment style, so you have your own privacy in bedroom and bathroom so you really don't need to go out if you don't want to which also limits the amount of time and people you will see outside of your room. And then you got all these lame rules, and I understand that obviously rules need to be set in place and i'm no rebelious-mad at the world person, but for it to be a section of time in your life where you move away from home and learn how to be independent? There's waaaaay more rules here than my actual home! Not to mention the gigantic amount of money you spend on residence! Yes it's close, "utilities are included", but for 8 months- not even, 7200 is A LOT, you can buy sweet ass penthouse downtown bachelor apartments for that! Then ontop of that you HAVE to buy a meal plane.. atleast another 1850$ later, then you have to pay if you want BASIC cable, and you have shitty ass "wifi" internet that cant even keep a constant connection to stream videos....
Needless to say: Rez is not my thing, and I cannot wait to get out of here. I just hope other people have better experience in their schools Rez than I did.
