1. Divide your year of study by two
2. Manage the school hostel in your first and second or third year of study.
3. Then complete it by staying off campus.
That way you enjoy both.

Okay, we have hear.

You'll be the last to get the latest info going on in the school.
Paying for house rent, except if you are born with silver spoon will definitely choke you someday.
Security aspect is another thing entirely. The thieves inside school campus are amateur and they do have pity. But the ones outside, no pity at all. Even your life is at stake.

Don't forget the F.U.N, FUN also
Off Campus, NO!
