    i applied to 2 unis to start studying computer science starting @01.10

    both cities are quite expensive and therefore i can't afford renting something private - i rely on student dormitories in both cities

    as of right now, it seems unlikely i get a room in a dorm in either city; city A responded that it's a 50:50 chance to get a room for the 01.10, and i'm at around place 400 in a queue for student dorms in city B

    now, city A is about 10h away from where i live, city B is 2-3h away. i got 2 options: either i accept the admission to uni A, move there, and live in hotels/fitness studios/street for a month (50:50 chance for 01.10, so i might get a spot, but i doubt it would take too long if i didn't), or accept admission to uni B, and wait half a year or more and travel to and back from uni for 2-3h every single day

    what to pick?

      travelling every day is quite expensive by itself and it takes way too much time, id suggest going for the first option

        wow
        in america we are guarenteed, sometimes required, to live in university housing as a freshman
        i would do the first option, because i think it would be interesting to try to live on your own.
        the second option seems to mess with schedule a lot

            it is not worth to travel everyday 3 hours

              As all above me said, 1 is better.

              Not sure where you live,does rent a room with a family worked in your country?If not I am pretty sure there are other students more or less same situation as you,group them up and smoke to RS rent a house together should be better option.

                  do u have a drivers license?

                  if so, rent a cheap car, live in it for a month. use fitness studios to shower

                  i've had a friend who did it in america for 3 months during some dark times, tells me its not as bad as it sounds

                    dont have a drivers license, otherwise that'd be my go to yeah

                          Its hard to rent a place because of the deposit which is 3x rent

                          We're looking at 1500€ here, and an additional 500€ in rent

                          Money that I don't have

                          faw

                            But yeah option 1 seems more reasonable

                            lm ao

                              now, city A is about 10h away from where i live, city B is 2-3h away. i got 2 options: either i accept the admission to uni A, move there, and live in hotels/fitness studios/street for a month

                              this is not a good idea lmfao

                              you dont have to rush things and go to college as soon as you graduate lmfao. take a break from school for at least one academic year. that should be enough time so you can plan your college life well.

                              i ran into the same problems you have now when i was starting college. i pushed for it despite the risks just because of the 'blank slate' appeal of college. because of that i did not last for more than 3 semesters before i quit because i chose a course that only appealed to me during the first year of my college. i suggest you to not go retard and think this throughly or youll end up a neet.

                                DONT GO TO COLLEGE THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                a nice trick to get easy dormitory space is to befriend seniors who are going to graduate, (or if you chose to listen my advice of taking a one year break from college) or to befriend some douchebag who you think wont last freshman year in uni.

                                    Or you go for option C like everyone with half a brain would do.

                                      dont be stupid, you dont need to show up at uni every day anyways.
                                      i believe you only need to be there once a week for programming exercises which have compulsory attendance.
                                      go for option two

                                          Why TF wud u not have to college everyday?
                                          Do u not have any other course besides ur major?
                                          No other prerequisites?

                                            going to uni once a wekk is the best way to drop out in ur first year

                                            Giff me Wingman

                                              especially when u study computer science, the dorprate is really high.

                                              It starts rather slow but around half a year the pacing will skyrocket causing most to drop out.

                                              You actualy have few options beside his 2 options, but he's a dumbfuck and doesn't know life works so obv. he probably doesn't know that other options even exist.

                                                City A.

                                                And there should be places you can stay where you pay on a daily basis. Check that shit out. I lived in a place like that for a month when I started studying.

                                                I'm also assuming city A has a better uni. But if they are the same, city A is still better. I would only consider city B is the uni is vastly better/recognized worldwide.

                                                  other options such as sitting at home all day posting gay anime kids on instagram? yeah right no ty

                                                  ty, yeah, i'll check it out and city A got a better uni including better exchange programs to study/work abroad during the studies

                                                  also city B is kinda like a village in comparison to city A

                                                              Another thought. While I would avoid being homeless or semi homeless at all costs, you can maybe try to make friends and sleep on a couch for awhile until you find something better. (even if it's technically against their lease, they may not mind the extra money) I actually did that for a year or so.

                                                                the city where i might become homeless for a week or 2 got the better uni, better job prospects and better programs during studies - also they got an honors masters degree which i be might going for, which people from other (worse) universities are not eligible to do

                                                                for me personally the biggest issue is the personal life though - the city where i'd have to travel 4h a day offers close to nothing in my free time, no clubs (both bars and sports) etc, whereas in the bigger city i could do whatever i want

                                                                      raptured

                                                                        raptured

What dorm waits for the beggining of the semester to show who got a spot and who didnt? How can you have 50% of chance on getting a fucking room? Dont you have a list or something?

                                                                                    ywn

                                                                                      thanks for coming to this realization

                                                                                        i think its an email telling me to be optimistic, since those dorm organizations tend to rather say no than anything, because they get sued otherwise

                                                                                        faw

                                                                                          thats the thing, the dorms dont care about semesters at all

                                                                                          u can sign up for a dorm whenver u want, and go there whenever u want

                                                                                              i know ure desperately seeking attention so here u go

                                                                                                        where can i get food? i'm assuming eating at a hostel is not the cheapest way to eat - considering i can't cook for myself

                                                                                                        fast food all day every day? how about eating at campus? (~4-6€ a meal iirc)

                                                                                                        where can i charge my phone/laptop over the day? and in general: how much should i be paying for rent? (i got about 1000€ available
