Aznkukuboi,
Since you are a student, do you know the odds of transfer students getting off the waitlist and into Brookside apartments? I'm also not sure I really want to stay in Brookside either. It would cost half the amount to live off campus, maybe even cheaper. Can you give me/us the pros and cons. Thanks!
hmm the chance of getting in Brookside a good since there's a lot of 2nd years leaving and a few empty rooms here and there.
I know the cost is quite a lot, but unless you are living like a few minutes away, I would get tired of waking up early in the morning to drive to class. Back in high school, I got into an accident once since I was pretty tired, albeit the class was at 7 am.
Living on campus means I can wake up at late as possible and walk to class within 3 minutes. And since there are lab times scattered randomly throughout the day, it's easy to go back to my room and change or sleep or whatever I want.
Also, you are living with a billion other pharmacy students. If you make good friends, you'll receive lots of help. BUT if you live with crappy ass roommates, especially of another culture, it may be hard to adjust living with them. I have a white friend living with 3 Asians. I don't know how she survives.
However, is money is an issue, off campus is the better choice. People have been doing that for a while and are fine.

EDIT:
The school just announced they have over accepted students and anticipate a surge of incoming freshman. Getting into brookside will be impossible.
but now I have to consider many things such as kids' school, daycare, safety etc...
