Living in the AUC dorm all 5 semesters

[OUmedical]

This question may have been addressed in the past but I was unable to find it browsing quickly through a search, so I'll ask.

On the AUC website it says:
Can I live in the dorms for all 5 semesters?
Some students have stayed in the dorms for all 5 semesters, but this is not common. It really depends on several factors including the number of incoming students, as well as, the current demand for dorm space. Basically, incoming students should plan on securing off-campus housing after their first semester. Please refer to the Housing Department for further information.

Should I assume they prefer we don't stay on campus all 5 semesters ? (that was my plan).
At this point, I think I'd prefer to just live right on campus for the duration of my stay, but if they really would prefer we don't stay there more than 1 semester I'd get a nearby apartment.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular policy?

Thank you,
Johnny

yea you cannot depend on staying there all 5 semsters....

some people have managed but it is hard...especially with entering class getting larger every year.....

i decided to live off campus right off the bat to...to avoid having to move later in the year

Thanks skipper,

It's no big deal if I live off campus, I just HATE packing and moving. :x

Maybe I'll skip the whole dorm thing.

Thanks,

that was my theory...i didnt want to move during the school year and i didnt want to stay her during break to find a place...so i just moved to one place and plan to stay her the whole time....

I'm on my 3rd apartment... and I know of people who have moved more than I have!

So far, got to live right by the beach(back/front yard was literally the beach) and now living right on the lagoon(not as nice as the beach though...)

Why did you leave the beach and how much did it cost? :lol:

[aychamo]

Yeah, why did you change apts 3 times?

What are some recommended apts?

Because I like moving... :roll:

I'm married.. so that pretty much explains it all.

i've moved 3 times as well, but each one upgrading fom a view of a side of a building, to a nicer apartment with an awesome view, to the penthouse in the same building. I agree with microphage.....blame it on the women

how do u define ghetto....some might think my apt is ghetto...i think it is fine..close to school...

i pay 650 a month

nicer ones near school would be like 900 to 1300

Skipper,
Do you have any pics of your place or the area?
650 sounds pretty good.

Thanks
