Not living in a university means choosing to study in a university, but not living in a dormitory or apartment provided by the school, but renting a house off campus or living with family members. This way can make students more independent, have a more independent lifestyle and reduce living expenses. But it also increases the transportation cost and time cost.

Students who choose not to live in the university need to bear the responsibility of independent living, such as handling financial affairs independently, buying food and arranging transportation. So they need to have enough maturity and ability. In addition, students who don't live in school should arrange their time more reasonably so that they can keep a balance between study and life.

Compared with living on campus, college students have their own advantages and disadvantages. Living on campus can provide students with better social experience and more learning resources, but students also need to abide by more school rules, disciplines and management systems. If you choose not to live in school, you can have more freedom, but you also have to face more burdens and challenges. At the same time, you need to actively strive for some learning and social resources of the school. In short, living off campus is a more free and independent way of learning, suitable for students with higher maturity and ability.
