Living on campus is a part of the traditional college experience. It will teach you how to live with others and to upkeep your living spaces. It gives you access to more campus activities and events, as well as helps you meet new people. Even with all of these pros, it also has its downsides. Here are four different things that suck about living on campus.

1. Laundry Day is a Nightmare

When sharing laundry rooms, you're bound to run into some issues. Sometimes it's a small issue of a broken washer or the usual poor quality dryers that leave your clothes wet. But then there are the other people that use them. More specifically, the people who put their stuff into the machine and leave it for hours. People with common sense will use a timer to make sure they don't leave their laundry. Others use multiple washers and dryers and leave their stuff in there for days. If you have to use 4 washers at one time, that means you have to do laundry more than once a month.

2. The Food is Questionable

Most of us know that food at a college isn't a 5-star meal, but most of the time it's more questioning what they are serving. Some colleges have dorming with kitchens for the students to use, while others require a meal plan. With that being said, the amount of food that I had to question what it was supposed to be is astonishing. Chicken and Biscuits is a chicken nugget on a Pillsbury biscuit. Other food is mediocre to the point where I've walked into the food hall, only to turn around.. We can see why students love to eat out or eat like pigs when we go home.

3. Neighbors

Sometimes, the silent neighbor is the best. I'd rather hear nothing than hear neighbors slamming doors, blasting music at 3 AM on a weekday, or smell the stenches of B.O. or other scents. Personally, my neighbors are in the middle so I can't complain that much. However, I have been in other rooms where the neighbors leave the hallways trashed, and are completely inconsiderate towards the others.

4. Suitemates/Roommates are a Hit Or Miss

The people you live with can be a make or break point of the college life. You can have the ones, like your neighbors, who blast music and make loud noises on nights before a big exam and leave a mess. Others can be considerate and be decent human beings. I'm glad to say that my roommates aren't the kind who actually treat each other with respect.

Even with these downsides of living on campus, it truly does teach you the ways of living with others, and even on your own. You'll learn how to keep your space clean and learn how to live on your own.
