If at all possible live on campus. You are not looking at a twenty minute commute, you are looking at a forty minute commute, every day. If you go five days a week that is over three hours of your life lost to driving every week. It may not sound like much, but it is three hours you could have spent studying, playing, talking to friends, whatever and instead you are in a car alone doing nothing. Over the course of one semester it works out to roughly two days of driving time. Two and a half weeks or more for the whole four years of college.
