All my classes are within five minutes of my dorm. Most of my club meetings are right here too. There's more pokestops on this side of campus. The only downside is there's almost no restaurants on this side of campus other than chick-fil-a and the mess hall. And it's not that I don't love that but the high rises (where most students live) have a mess hall, a subway, a bagel shop, a panda express, an ice cream shop, and a movie theater. Though they did just open a few more places like starbucks, which wich, taco twister, and raising cane but they weren't open all last semester and they're not exactly convenient to go to.
    Okay, you have WAAAYYY more at your campus than I did. That still sounds a LOT nicer. We had mostly local mom and pop places. They weren't bad, but... they weren't anything to celebrate either. Campus nightlife was nil as well. Not to mention if you were out late in town, there was a good chance of you getting robbed at gunpoint. Happened quite often, which was another good reason why I was happy not to live on campus.

    Dorm rooms at my campus were like storage closets. Tiny windows, SUPER HOT, and I got to sleep (I didn't actually get any sleep that night though) in the same dorm building where three students died in a dorm fire a few years back. The bathrooms were abysmal. There was no way I could deal with that. I hate having filthy bathrooms. Which reminds me, the bathroom at home could really use a reapplication of some tile grout, but that's a big project and I haven't ever done it before.

    Well to be far I don't live in Jersey. We have a downtown as well (which is closer to my side of campus so I go there a lot for like Jimmy Johns). Everything's really expensive though so I usually just stick to the mess hall. There's parties all the time here though. It's pretty much assumed by professors that you're out partying Friday and Saturday nights, and it's slowly becoming accepted for this to be a Thursday thing as well. Wednesday's still like a gray area because it can be but that doesn't mean it is. The only day off limits is Sunday for some reason.

    Well that's another perk of my dorm, since I'm not in the high rises or shoeboxes, I have a suite style room. This means I get my own bathroom that myself, my roommate, and the people next door share with us. We take turns cleaning it too. I've heard horror stories about the high rise bathrooms. One time in one of the buildings they found mushrooms growing in the showers. Plus in the buildings with both genders in it, the guys can just walk down the steps to the girls's floors and that causes all kind of issues.
