Apartment with four roommates or single dorm?

Okay, next year I have the choice between living in a single dorm, or living in a 5 bedroom apartment with 4 roommates. I'll be a sopre in college. I have a single dorm right now, and it's very small, so I feel congested. The apartment is also closer to the downtown area and my cles, than my dorm is. Does anyone have any experience with living with 4 other girls?
