"We are just one big happy family." This is what Stacey Mazzola residing at 72 Main Street had to say about living downtown. It was obvious to me from all the positive remarks I heard, that downtown living is an excellent choice for housing while at college. Myseli, living downtown this past year, can understand these ad vantages. There are no strict rules from the dorms, you have yow· own ·kitchen to cook the food you want to eat, you find yourseU in a more relaxed surrounding, and you have more freedom to dowhatever you want in your house. But in every case, there are the disadvantages such as rules from your landlord, ei..-penses you pay for food, and the responsiblility of taking care of your house. These drawbacks as Anthony Paclori and his housemates from 25 Grove Street put it, "You are faced with the ;ob of budgeting your money and therefore become a more responsible stucent because of that.
