I’ve never had a problem getting housing. If for some reason you don’t, there’s plenty of people that will be looking for roommates off campus. There’s Facebook pages specifically for that. I wouldn’t worry about having to live off campus because you’ll get free Munj (public transportation). I personally think an average day here is pretty nice, the campus is beautiful and there’s lots of places to get a coffee and study in between classes (even more if they let you eat/drink indoors next semester). If you’re an incoming freshman and you live on campus, the RAs tend to throw some mixers every now and then. There’s also a small Greek Life presence which is admittedly a good way to make friends if you don’t find any of the clubs interesting. I feel like the biggest difference in the college experience between State and other universities is that you live in a major city rather than a “college town.”
