"I was so excited to move into the hostel, thinking it would be like the movies. Confession: I moved out after one semester. The roommates rarely cleaned, there was zero privacy, and the noise level was insane. Living off-campus is more expensive, but the peace of mind is worth the extra pesa (money). You really have to choose: convenience or sanity."
