Should I live in a dorm or move off-campus next year?

I'll be a junior next year, I have lived in the dorms for two years, I'm thinking about moving off-campus, but I can't make up my mind. I wanna be close to campus but most of the apartments close by are really expensive, even more expensive than the dorms because the leases are for 12 months and I don't plan on staying during that summer. I haven't looked at many places but one apartment I'm considering is a 6 bedroom with 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room, and my roommates will be assigned. However, the rooms are very, very small, smaller than half of my current 2-person dorm room. While I do want my own room, I don't know if I wanna live in a room that small. The desks are also smaller than the ones in the dorms. Also there's a kitchen and it may be cheaper and healthier to cook for myself sometimes, but that's also time consuming. But I feel like it'll be more fun to stay in the dorms and that's basically the only reason I can come up with that the dorms are better. Still, when I thought of flipping a coin, I realized I was scared that it was gonna tell me to live off-campus but I don't know if that's just cause of fear of unfamiliarity. Living off-campus may or may not be cheaper so I can't decide based on that either. If the rooms in the 6 bedroom apartment were bigger and if I knew that it was gonna be just as much fun and I'll meet just as many people as in the dorms, I'd take the apartment. Please help me decide.

    What about live at home and save tons of money? But foreal though I say go with what your heart says. I think living off campus would be pretty cool.
