Having a roommate and sharing a bathroom with a lot of people may not sound appealing to everyone, but it has been part of the college experience for a long time. Bobcat Update's Iris Fulton reports on the pros and cons of communal living.

Dormitories are no longer one-size-fits-all. Students now have options. They can choose the more traditional arrangement -- a tiny room that two people share with a community bathroom down the hall, OR they can pay more comfortable accommodations.

Although students can choose to live alone, many still gravitate to community-style dorms where they share a room and a bathroom. Texas State does a great job of keeping all of the residence halls in tip-top shape.

Chautauqua Hall, part of Texas State's most recently built housing complex, is a community style dorm with great security and nice features for the residents.

A big advantage of living in a dorm is being close to all of your classes on campus. It's also a good way to meet fellow Bobcats.
SBTexas State is building another new housing complex on the west side of campus that will be community style as well. For Bobcat Update, I'm Iris Fulton.
