One of the most common misconceptions people have when comparing the residence halls and Greek Court to living off-campus is not recognizing all of the hidden costs associated with living off-campus. These costs in-clude monthly utilities (i.e., water, electricity, local phone service and trash removal), cable, installation fees, buying furniture, paying for repairs, or buying groceries. The price advertised in an off-campus lease generally includes the cost of housing accommodations only, while the remainder of the costs are each paid separately. Residence hall residents don't have to worry about paying these hidden costs, because they are all included in the room and board (meal plan) contract. In short - one price does it all.
