i commuted my first semester. it sucks commuting, and i live right in the bronx. you miss out on opportunities to meet more people at the very least. i am dorming now, but to be honest as far as being active on campus that isn’t happening now either. that’s mostly a choice i’ve made. i just work and go to classes but it’s a lot more convenient to live here than it is to commute if you can spare the money. it’s really up to you on how active you want to be on campus. however commuters are really separated from campus life. it’s not something done on purpose, but it’s just how it is since residents can bond more. i didn’t have the money either and i still don’t, but i work on campus and applied for an outside scholarship which is helping out quite a bit. it’s made it possible that’s for sure. and if you have a metro grant, it converts to a room grant if you do dorm. good luck.
