Well, I moved into West Campus about a week ago. I was expecting to be living on campus due to the Cortland website that states " West Campus Apartments are on campus facilities." Now I consider on campus to actually be on SUNY Cortland property not 2-3 miles away. As a freshman being put all the way over there that wasn't exactly what I was looking forward to.
Luckily, once I moved in I realized a lot of other guys from the hockey team were in the same apartment complex. I was lucky enough to have a buddy of mine as one of my three roommates. My one concern about the situation is I feel like Cortland should be more honest about its so called "on campus" housing. It's nice to all have our own rooms and the freedom of being 21 and able to drink, but still damn that's along way. I was hoping to have a memorable start to my freshman year in college by being able to interact with other people on the campus, instead we have a small number of people at West Campus that already have there groups and such.
I have been told by a lot of the upper class men on the hockey team that they enjoy living off campus and it gives you more freedom., I for one know I will be living on campus until at least after my sophomore year, I mean come on, don't we all wanna experience the true life of college?
Ether way I will be keeping a positive attitude towards my new living arrangement until I truly give it a chance.
Hoping to head up to the Adirondacks soon before it gets to cold to be outside!

I don't know from experience but I have heard that everyone loves living off campus. Most people enjoy it because they really have very few rules to follow. I guess you're living on your own, literally, so you have to provide for yourself. I hope everything works out for you, and it gets better!
P.S. It's also good to have your teammates around =).
I transferred here my sophmor year and was assigned West Campus, too. I was also under the impression that this place was going to be ON CAMPUS but it wasent. I was happy though in the sense that i did not have to follow as strict rules, rather i was on my own. There are busses to truck your self around so you'll be good. Make the best of it. :)
