If you are worried about moving away to college and what effect living in a dormitory may have on your mental health, there is no need to fear. You can actually live in JMU off-campus apartments and enjoy the many positive benefits that they will have on your mental state.
Bring Your Pets
Many student apartments allow you to bring your pet so long as you pay the applicable deposit. This is not true with a dorm room unless you have a valid medical excuse. By living with your pet, you can reduce the stress that naturally comes with acclimating to your new environment and life.
More Privacy
In a dormitory, you are crammed into a room with a total stranger and essentially have zero privacy. This is definitely not the case when you rent your own apartment. In fact, there is no need to have a roommate at all as long you can handle the rent on your own. If you do need a roommate to help with bills, you’ll both have your own rooms that you can retreat to when you need your own space.
Eat Healthier
Eating healthy and nutritious foods is a key aspect of maintaining positive mental health. However, it is quite difficult to get nutritious food when all you have access to is a college cafeteria or a dorm kitchen. On the other hand, when you live in JMU Off-Campus Apartments, you can buy your own groceries and prepare any meal that suits your lifestyle.
