Forced to live on campus
#22362655 - 10/11/15 10:43 AM (8 years, 3 months ago) |
|

the college i am transferring into next semester has a policy that you have to live on campus unless you meet a bunch of requirements that no normal student out of highschool would meet, like military, married etc.
The only requirement I have going for me is that I have above a 3.0 gpa but that was not one of the highly noted ones allowing for one to live off of campus.
I also eat a vegan diet and looked at their food options and they pretty much have nothing except for a veggie wrap which is rediculous. I figured I might be able to argue this point.
living in the dorms will easily cost twice as much and will all around be shittier, they also force you buy a food plan which is like 125 a week of which almost none of the foods I can eat.
anyone have any experience with a situation like this? help much appreciated

I think a lot of colleges require freshman to live on campus. I have never heard of them forcing someone to purchase their meal plan though. That is a bunch of bullshit and I wouldn't pay it

thats weird they are making you do that. If you don't live to far you could just commute there. thats what I do. Also look on craigslist for apartments maybe.

while i agree the live-on campus policy blows, cant you cook for yourself? as a vegan you should really learn how to cook, because not everyone is going to cater specifically to your 'needs'

How's he gonna cook in a dorm with nothing but a microwave?
Making you live in dorms and buy a 500/mo food plan is ridiculous. I spent 125 a month on food and eat better than the dorm cafeteria.

Just say 'no' to living on campus. That's it, just NO.
Your excuse would be 'medical', in which case they can't even ask about it. "I have medical reasons" is all you have to tell them. If they ask for more detail, remind them that, as a state agency, it's against the law to pry into your personal medical history.

Find a school that doesn't have that requirement & then transfer to that one instead. I would never live on campus.

I'm just saying...his diet consists of mainly shoes. If he makes this known, he'll probably get out of the meal plan bit.
And I'm sure they can arrange to send him to some special care home with more of his kind.

I thought some schools made that a freshman requirement, but I've never heads this happening to a transfer. I'd just live off campus anyway and say fuck them

that makes a fine vegan meal but only if it's not from animals that were exploited for their poop and only comes from grass fed, free range herbivores

I know how to cook. even if i could cook for myself in a dorm, which I pretty much can't given that you are not allowed even a microwave in the dorm rooms I would still be paying 125 a week for food that I don't eat.
the school is in a small town so rent can is around 350-400 all inclusive. the dorms are 3600 sharing with some cunt in a small ass room
their policy states that it is required to live on campus their unless you meet a few out of the ordinary requirements for a 20 year old, married, previously in the military and a few others.
their is an appeal process but the only requirement I meet is having above a 3.0 gpa and it is stated that will allow 4th students to live off campus if they pass the appeal process, im in my third year trying to transfer in
idk how to get around this but this is fucky

The college I attended also had this policy but I don't know they actually enforced it. There were lots of people that attended the college that lived in the same town as the college and surrounding area. You might check on how they actually enforce it. I'm not sure that they can because lots of people also commute and or live with family or relatives. I don't recall ever actually seeing any paper work from mine about this and I never once heard of anyone getting in trouble for it.
I think it was more of a scam to scare people into living on campus do the school could make more money,
The only positive note would be that it might give you a chance to meet a new circle of friends that you wouldn't have known otherwise.

Do you live near the campus already? Usually this policy refers to students who live outside an X mile radius.
I think your best excuse on the appeal, if the above isnt the case, is to tell them you have a dog that you got when you were younger and saved you from suicide and couldn't possibly think of abandoning him, but at the same time you are serious about your education.

My school wouldn't even let you bring back food from the cafeteria to your room. A microwave and that was it. The cafeteria food was terrible. And it's a scam too, students cramming all night need to eat late at night but since you couldn't bring food back with you, and dinner ended at 7, you had to buy it, probably from campus restaurant. About the only good thing about on campus living was meeting new people but I remained friends with none of them.

I got the option to live in an on campus apartment my freshmen year because I qualified with like only 30 other freshmen. They let me chose one roomie and I chose my other best friend who was going to the same college so he got to piggy back off me. We both came to the conclusion that we did miss out on some crucial things not living in the dorms. Many kids we knew met a shit ton of people in the dorms. I mean our apartments were like dorms but they were full blown apartments. They were actually really fucking nice.
I paid like 6k a semester to live in them. Benefits of living on campus are that you are forced to be around people and it makes socializing a lot easier. When we moved to off campus apartments our neighbors were fucking recluses. I went to my neighbors place once when I came home drunk and they were having a party. They were weird as fuck lol.
It's really up to you. If you think you don't care about being around others then off campus but on campus has its benefits.
You can make valid excuses for not being able to live on campus just figure them out and find the best one to use. They usually never deny them unless it's something fucking trivial. Doctors notes and shit are foolproof.
