WAS RECRUITED HERE AND IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THE RIGHT MATCH AT THAT TIME IN TERMS OF THE THINGS THEY WERE LOOKING FOR IN THE NEXT LEADER FOR THE #OLLEGE OF %DUCATION AND THE SKILLSET THAT ) THOUGHT ) WOULD BRING HERE

How did you get involved with the University Autism Center?

7ELL WHEN ) FIRST BECAME DEAN ) CHAIRED A COMMITTEE ON CAMPUS UNDER THE WORK OF THE PROVOST TO DETERMINE WHERE SHOULD THE AUTISM CENTER BE HOUSED ON OUR CAMPUS

Could you explain the changes happening in the

College of Education and what your role has been?

4HERE S REALLY TWO MAJOR WAYS IN WHICH THE #OLLEGE OF %DUCATION HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH CHANGES /NE IS BY OUR CHOICE AND THAT S WHAT WE CALL OUR %$VOLUTION !

PROS and cons of living off campus

THE EDITORS DISCUSS THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND WHY THEY THINK LIVING ON OR OFF CAMPUS IS A GOOD OR A BAD IDEA SEAN BURKE PHOTO EDITOR

AMBER CASON ONLINE MANAGING EDITOR

) HAVE LIVED OFF CAMPUS FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW AND ) DEFINITELY PREFER IT TO LIVING ON CAMPUS (OWEVER THERE ARE SOME PERKS TO LIVING ON CAMPUS ) HAVE LIVED IN 4OWERS %AST AND ALSO THE 3IGMA #HI CAMPUS HOUSE ) WILL SAY THAT ) MISS THE MEAL PLANS JANITORS AND THE FUN ATMOSPHERE OF DORM STYLE LIVING BUT ) STILL PREFER TO LIVE OFF CAMPUS WITH JUST A FEW OF MY FRATERNITY BROTHERS INSTEAD OF MORE THAN OF THEM ) LIKE HAVING AN ALMOST CLEAN HOUSE AND BEING ABLE TO DO WHATEVER ) WANT ) REALLY LIKE BEING ABLE TO COOK MY OWN MEALS AND THE FREEDOM OF LIVING WITHOUT THE ON CAMPUS RULES 4HE DAYS MAY NOT BE AS EXCITING LIVING WITHOUT SO MANY GUYS DOWN THE HALL FROM YOU BUT IT S A LOT MORE PEACEFUL ) WILL SAY THAT THE WORST PART ABOUT LIVING OFF CAMPUS IS HAVING TO TRY TO FIND A PLACE TO PARK WHEN YOU NEED TO GO TO CLASS OR OTHER BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS 4HERE ARE DEFINITELY PROS AND CONS TO BOTH WAYS OF LIVING AND ) AM VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE EXPERIENCED BOTH

) AM ACTUALLY FOR LIVING ON CAMPUS ) THINK THAT LIVING ON CAMPUS HAS A LOT OF PERKS ˆ YOU BUILD A SENSE OF COMMUNITY YOU ARE MORE CONNECTED TO THE UNIVERSITY AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO COOK AT ALL IF YOU DON T WANT TO ,IVING ON CAMPUS IS HOW ) ESTABLISHED THE MAJORITY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS ) HAVE BUILT 9OU CONSTANTLY GET TO MEET PEOPLE AND CAN HAVE DINNER WITH THEM STUDY WITH THEM AND MORE 3URE THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN OFF CAMPUS BUT IT JUST SEEMS MORE CONVENIENT BECAUSE THE PLACES YOU EAT STUDY AND SLEEP ARE ALL WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE !ND AS FOR FOOD ) AM NOT THE BEST COOK SO BEING ABLE TO GO SOMEWHERE WITH FOOD ) DID NOT HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF IS A LIFE SAVER ) ALSO KNOW THAT MANY COMPLAIN ABOUT IT BEING MORE EXPENSIVE

AND IF YOU LIVE IN ,A&ERLA WITH A MEALS A WEEK PLAN YEAH IT LL BE MORE "UT IF YOU LIVE IN A MODEST DORM AND DON T EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT YOU LL BE FINE 7HEN YOU LIVE OFF CAMPUS YOUR RENT MAY BE LESS EXPENSIVE BUT YOU HAVE TO ADD THE CLEANING SUPPLIES FOOD

UTILITIES AND MORE WHICH CAN REALLY ADD UP

) THINK THAT LIVING ON CAMPUS HAS REALLY ALLOWED ME TO GROW 7HILE YOU AREN T COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT LIVING ON CAMPUS CAN TEACH YOU SOCIAL LESSONS &OR ONE JUST LEARNING HOW TO LIVE IN THE SAME ROOM AS ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IS SOMETHING THAT ) THINK MADE ME HAVE TO BECOME MORE RESPONSIBLE 9OU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO SOLVE ROOMMATE AND SUITEMATE DISPUTES BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF 9OU STILL HAVE TO CLEAN AND DO LAUNDRY AND TAKE OUT THE TRASH AND BUY TOILET PAPER .O YOU DON T HAVE TO PAY RENT OR BUY ALL YOUR FOOD BUT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE #OLLEGE IS THE TIME TO LEARN HOW TO SURVIVE AS AN ADULT

BUT THAT DOESN T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE ON ALL ADULT RESPONSIBILITIES )NSTEAD EMBRACE THE MEAL PLAN EMBRACE THE FREE7I &I AND EMBRACE THE CAMARADERIE )T S NOT GOING TO LAST FOREVER SO ENJOY IT ,IVING OFF CAMPUS CAN BE A GREAT LIFE LESSON BUT LIVING ON CAMPUS ISN T THAT DIFFERENT AND OFFERS A SUPPORT STRUCTURE THAT WILL CATCH YOU IF YOU FALL

-OVING AWAY FROM HOME AND INTO A DORM ROOM AT A BRAND NEW SCHOOL WITH BRAND NEW FACES IS PRETTY INTIMIDATING BUT SIGNING YOUR FIRST LEASE IS EVEN MORE SO )N MY CASE THE SPACE WAS ALL MY RESPONSIBILITY .O ROOMMATES .O FREE7I &I .O CAFETERIA "UT THEN AGAIN IT WAS MINE )T S THE BEST KIND OF EXHILARATING AND TERRIFYING TO FIND YOURSELF IN A POSITION WHERE YOU CAN FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH AND ADULT ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN LIVING ON YOUR OWN ) THINK THERE S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR DORM LIVING THOUGH TOO 9OU MEET PEOPLE YOU LL ALWAYS BE FRIENDS WITH 9OU HAVE DINING HALLS AND A MEAL PLAN TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BUDGETING AND ONLY EATING 2AMEN FOR A SEMESTER 9OU RE LEARNING THE ROPES AND IT S NICE TO NOT HAVE THE ADDED WORRY OF BILLS AND MAINTENANCE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE 3TILL OFF CAMPUS LIVING HAS JUST AS MANY PERKS 9OU GET COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE 9OU CAN PULL AN ALL NIGHTER IF YOU HAVE TO AND NOT WORRY ABOUT DISTURBING ANYBODY 7HEN IT S IN THE MORNING YOU CAN MAKE PANCAKES JUST BECAUSE YOU RE CRAVING LATE NIGHT BREAKFAST FOOD %ITHER WAY ) TRULY THINK YOU SHOULD DO BOTH 7HICHEVER LIVING STYLE EACH BRINGS OUT A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF COLLEGE LIFE THAT DESERVES TO BE EXPERIENCED
