I am going to move out.
I've been living on campus for 2.5 years. I don't like my dorms at all.

1, Substance Abuse.
I can't figure out how to make many friends without smoking weed or drinking or partying. Most college students spend much more time just hanging out than studying.

2, Not safe.
Here is my stories. Both of them happened this semester. One night, while I was cooking, someone knocked on my door. I asked who it was. No replies. Then I went to open the door. It was a black adult that I'd never seen before. He said he lived upstairs and wanted to borrow TOILET PAPER. I told him to ask someone else because I didn't have any and shut the door quickly. (How did he get into the building when we had controlled access?)
On the other night, around 12am, just before I was going to do laundry in the basement and I saw several adults was wandering outside of my building smoking. They were apparently not from the campus since they sneaked away under the fence that separated the college from the neighborhood. BTW, the fence is only 1 person tall and there is a big gap between the fence and the ground. After they were gone, I went out and noticed that the mailboxes were all knocked down and broken into.

I soon wrote a letter to the director of the security department. He said he would send someone to fix the fence but there is still a big gap.
(I am in a very tiny and rich liberal arts college. I figured what the security cares about is drinking problem. We have policy cars come the campus every weekend)

3, Dirty & small & old.
You all know what I mean and we also have mice problem.

4,Poor Maintenance and management. We have missing curtains and window screens every year and we report them every year. Nobody ever come to fix them.

5, Expensive. I have to pay $800 for the small room that I have, which is less than 90 Sq ft.
