Hey @Ryan-Rossi!

On-campus accommodation is generally considered convenient and recommended to freshmen as it gives them time to adjust to college life.

Accessibility: Residence inside campus gives students great convenience and comfort. Facilities like labs, libraries, gyms, dining halls, and classrooms are available at arm’s length. A shorter distance ensures that students don’t have to worry about being late for their classes.

Social Life: Students are smack in the center of campus life and are exposed to a nexus of people. This helps students to interact and cement friendships, which is vital for a healthy social life. For international students, it can also be an exciting opportunity to learn about the local culture and values.

Security: On-campus accommodation can mean added security for students. Most universities follow guidelines that help international students live in a secure environment. Students are awarded IDs and activated; they place key locks outside their rooms. Also, there are security cameras installed to monitor people coming in or going out of campus.

What are the benefits of living off-campus?

@Sana-Shaikh

Hey Sana,
For many students, studying abroad is the first real experience of living away from home. It gives them the opportunity to spread their wings and ease into adult life. All students have the choice to either live on-campus and off-campus accommodation.

Hey Ryan!

In Denmark, over half of pupils ride their bikes to school, while the other third prefer public transportation. The most affordable monthly public transportation pass costs 50 EUR. Denmark is known as a “cycling country”. The country has 4.5 million bicycles or nearly one for every person that lives there. You can also purchase a second-hand bike for transportation. This will cost anywhere between 30 – 135 EUR, depending on the bike’s condition.

All of this means that commuters who choose to cycle, walk, or take public transportation have excellent options. Local trains, metros, and buses are available in large cities such as Copenhagen, and there are good links to even the most rural locations.

If you prefer to drive, the majority of the road network is free to use, though there are occasional tolls. However, traffic in cities can be heavy during peak hours.

In the Netherlands, it's cheaper to live on-campus than off-campus.
Living on campus also has a great prospect in terms of socialization and adaptation to diversity.
You’ll love how easy it is to get around the place with a bike – the preferred (and the cheapest) mode of transportation in the Netherlands.

"Hey Radhika,

Choosing between On-campus and Off-campus can be tough. Usually Off Campus accommodations are cheaper as you can share a room/house with other people and on-campus costs more because universities tend to charge higher and provide better amenities. However, this may differ from university to university. On-Campus accommodations usually range from $800-$3000. These usually depend upon the universities, and you can check it out on their websites. For off-campus accommodation there are rentals and home stays. At rentals, you can get roommates to share your financial burdens. At home stays, you can get a homely feel as you get to stay with a family and you will get to know their culture .
