<p>~Do not live in Detroit!! It IS a beautiful place, but unless you have tons of cash willing to spend it on a nice hotel, do not live there! (Anywhere else that’s cheap will most likely be crime-infested.)
~As for the logistics of it, that’s not smart either. My sister is a current freshmen there and commutes every day (we live in the suburbs of the metropolitan Detroit area, so it’s a 30-45 minute drive depending on traffic, highways, etc.). And it has been absolutely HORRIBLE. She has to leave the house 1+ hours before her classes start just in case of traffic, she can’t make it to study groups because they’re usually at night, nor can she attend meetings for the ONE club she joined. And all this has only been during this past Fall term. Factor in the snow of the coming Winter term…yea, she’s dorming next semester.
~So yea, just like (most) everyone has said, bad bad idea!</p>
