Dorm vs Apartment

Hi Friends,

So as you know later this Fall, I will transferring to university. I have a choice either to stay at dorm or apartment. Well my sisters and friends suggest me to stay at dorm since this will be my first year in university and also a good chance to practice my English, which is sucks as you can see in my grammar.

If you stay at dorm, you will meet a lot of new friends *not indonesian anymore*. I can practice my communication skills and also close to school. But the negative things are I do not have much privacy and of course I have to adjust myself to live with non-indo people. Well actually now I live with Hong Kong and Japanese people but I think the situation in dorm is different. About food *nah* I do not care, I am pretty bless that I can eat whatever from american, asian, mexican, etc and from good quality until abang-abang quality.

If I stay at aparment, I will have much more privacy and most likely I will live with Indonesian students too. The negative things are I can not practice my English often *since I will always talk Indonesian* and I have to pay for electricity, gas, water, etc. Besides it is kind of hard to find apartment and find a good roommate. Also it will be pretty far from the dorm and it will hard to go out especially in winter.

So friends, what do you suggest for me? or maybe do you have any experience to live at both places. I know some of you guys only read this post without giving any comment, well I hope you can help which one I have to choose.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

    Ya amplop Jeff…kok lu skr malah jadi bingung mo tinggal dimana??? man….
    Well….klo menurut gw sihh…mending lu coba tinggal di dorm kali, i mean yeah ur not gonna have ur privacy tapi kan ada untungnya juga…and it’s only for a couple of years (like 3, maybe…hhaha)…anyways klo lu bener2 ga suka, setelah setahun kan lu bisa pindah gitu kan (bener ga?), klo bener bisa, why don’t u try it?

    kayaknya mending elo cobain aja dulu di dorm, apalagi taun2 pertama kayaknya perlu bgt buat lebih tau situasi uni n bisa dpt temen, skalian belajar english dong. Kl soal privacy, yah, coba cuek deh, kl emang nggak betah, yah tinggal pindah. Lagian, kl tinggal di apt kan kapan2 bisa (kl udah lulus maksudnya). Gitu…..
