Why? The dorms were being renovated and newer ones looked great.
Personal comments:
It was typical college dorm living, but in Russia. It is not America and they have a different set of rules. Some students couldn't figure this out.

Why? The best option when living in Russia. On-campus accommodation is very cheap, but rooms are too small and there is no privacy. Other ways of accommodation are impossible in Russia.
Personal comments:
The university helps in finding a flat, although there is always a cheaper solution when you do it on your own. Flats in Russia are very bad, very old, there are no gadgets, bathrooms are unusable! Although, when ready to pay high price, modern flats can be easily obtained.

Why? More privacy and space for your own. Dormitory rooms were always for two people.
Personal comments:
One has to get used to the dormitory systems. Doors are closed over night and there's no in and out, except you have a deal with the guards.

Why? independence, very compromising living with a family...a little difficult at times. I might live in a family if I knew them well beforehand and felt comfortable with their lifestyle.
Personal comments:
We didnt really get any advice or help. The university offered us a place to stay that was 4 times the usual price and not very conducive to people of our age ie: living with an old widow
