Hostel:

I initially lived on campus. The convenience of this was that I was closer to my classes and was able to be more social. I was also able to set up my own living space. The downsides of this were poor quality roommates and the costs of living on campus.

I chose this college because it has both more traditional majors as well as a section of the school specifically devoted to a variety of arts. This allowed me to feel comfortable going into this school without a set major before my freshman year.
