ON CAMPUS ADVANTAGES
Living on campus makes every student¡¯s live easier. For example they do not have to take the car if they want to go to the library or to the gym (so that they do not have to worry about parking spots and tickets¡¦) they do not have to wake up so early for an 8 o¡¯clock class.
However especially for athletes it is a huge benefit to live on campus.
First of all, obviously it is more expensive to rent an apartment than the prices of a dorm. Also it is a huge benefit that every facility that athletes need is very close. The furthest sport facility from San Jacinto dorm (the baseball field) is 10 minutes away by foot, however almost every training- and weight room is around 3-4 minutes.
The study hall -where athletes can go and prepare with tutors for their academic tasks- is in Bellmont hall, in the building of the football stadium which is on the other side of the street from San Jacinto, and so visiting study hall almost every day cannot be a problem. The dining hall where athletes have their lunch and dinner is inside of Jester (which is next to San Jacinto dorm).
This is very helpful because athletes (who do not have too much time anyway) do not have to waste time with traveling hence the place for practicing, studying and eating are all very close to their dorm. So for student athletes it is very necessary to live on campus.
