After a week filled with laboring at brand-new classes aka brand new bores, Labor Day came and went at Quinnipiac. With an overflowing influx of surprisingly sizzling hot freshmen filling up the dorm rooms, came the proverbial boot to QU’s top dogs – seniors.

Three unforgettable (and sometimes barely memorable) years were spent under the roofs of the buildings inhabiting Dorm Road. The last of the Mohicans Bobcats to have only three years of guaranteed housing, seniors have been forced off-campus to generally crappy and all-too expensive housing.

Here are a few reasons underclassmen should relish in the fact they will not have to deal with off-campus housing.

1. Pearl-like Landlords – Everyone has seen the hysterically angry baby landlord rip Will Ferell a new one in their online video. Sadly it’s not as funny when you’re in Ferell's place and you are subject to your landlord's demands and overall evil.

2. Parking’s a Bitch – Forget about having to leave the dorm 10 minutes before class starts, seniors have to leave 30 minutes early and enter the concrete jungle that are the parking lots. This is not a place for the weak, so come prepared to fight and defend what’s rightfully your spot!

3. Leaks, Freaks and Busy Streets – Living amongst a normal community of grown-ups with families only adds fuel to the strange dynamic that is living off-campus. From that ever-running kitchen ceiling leak to the neighbor who mows his lawn at ALL hours of the day to backing out of a tiny driveway on a busy street, living in an off-campus house isn't at all what it's hyped up to be.
 

4. The Fight Between Woman and Grime – Oh yes, no longer are you blessed with a weekly Quinnipiac-paid cleaning lady, it’s now your job to clean off the puke on the toilet from the night before. Awesome? Not so much.

5. Good Riddance, Quinnipiac Café! – Sure the food might be ridden with laxatives but at least it was pre-paid and cooked for you. Off-campus living means toiling away in a cramped kitchen with three other roommates who all like their eggs cooked differently.

So underclassmen, count your beers and your blessings because off-campus living isn't as glamorous as you may think.
