I did two years of dorms and two years of living off campus and honestly both had their perks. In your situation I’d absolutely go with the dorm route because I found dorms were more convenient and conducive for school and it’s easy to just go to a friends apartment off campus when you wanted to have fun or hang out. Have a brand new car for free is also a major perk and financially puts you ahead with not having to worry about car payments and access to kore jobs after college.
