If time could flow backward, what apartment would you choose for studying abroad?

Why do many people living in student apartments for a year want to move out? The most common options are social apartments and student apartments, each with its pros and cons! 1⃣️ Student apartments have smaller average areas per person, lacking the "home" feeling. The en-suite average area is 15 square meters, studio 20 square meters, while social apartments, like a regular 75-square-meter 2-bedroom 2-bathroom, have over 30 square meters per person! The living space is truly spacious! 2⃣️ Social apartments offer better privacy, mostly equipped with their own washing machines and dishwashers. For clean freaks, not having their own washing machine is a no-go. 3⃣️ Social apartments are built to high-quality living standards, similar to residential complexes in China, with amenities like swimming pools, gyms, cinemas, studios, etc. Student apartments are more like upgraded versions of domestic dormitories, with limited resources for each person. 4⃣️ Social apartments offer better value for money. For the same price, you can always find larger and better-equipped houses outside. Apart from including bills and requiring less deposit, student apartments are thoroughly overshadowed by social apartments in other aspects. 5⃣️ Social apartments are actually quieter. Because students tend to party in public spaces, some may make a lot of noise due to thin walls and close quarters. Social apartments are mostly inhabited by working individuals, and it's rare to hear about parties happening at home. If there's too much noise, the building management will intervene. Of course, there are obvious advantages to living in student apartments! 1⃣️ Great for gatherings. The activity room or game room downstairs can turn into a "game room" in no time. 2⃣️ Convenient location, many are closer to the school. 3⃣️ No need to worry about bills. 4⃣️ The booking process is simple. Overall, if you want more of a campus life vibe, you can choose student apartments (it's convenient when friends live together and going out together). If you prioritize quality of life, enjoy homely vibes, or have a lot of clothes and stuff, social apartments are recommended. Generally, international students who have stayed for a few years tend to opt for social apartments blindly because they offer more of a sense of living and a family atmosphere.
