Apartment Building
My dorm in college was not really a dorm at all, but rather a very large apartment building. I had a self contained unit and I didn’t have to get my food in a cafeteria. I had my own kitchen and my own bathroom, though I was required to have a roommate or two. I’m not sure how much college dorm rooms cost, but I am sure I paid more for an apartment than I would have paid had I lived in a traditional dorm. I do think I am glad I did though, as I can’t imagine what it would be like to not be able to cook my own meals. The apartment building I lived in was a lot of fun, though I wouldn’t want to live in one now. When you are in college you want to meet as many people as possible, and you want to have all the fun you can possibly have. This apartment building made all of that possible, but also gave your privacy if you wanted to study or spend some downtime just hanging out with a few friends. It was your average sized apartment building I would say. It was ten stories high and had about twenty apartments on each floor.
I wouldn’t want to live in that kind of apartment building now, like I said, because I would be too much for me now. I’m not a carefree college student any longer, and the constant noise and disruptions would drive me nuts. I realize that an apartment building with families and couples would be calmer than one full of college students, but I still think it would be too much. You would hear everything in the hallway, and you would also hear the noise on each side of you. I’m pretty sure at this point in my life that this would drive me insane.
If you want to live in an apartment building for whatever reason, just make sure it’s a good one. If you find one that might not be as clean in the hallways as you would like, move on to something else. The hallways tend to give you an idea about how well it is cared for and how clean the other tenants may be. It just takes one really messy apartment in an apartment building to draw cockroaches, and once they get in there, it’s almost impossible to keep them from your place, and even harder to get rid of them.
