The reasons mentioned above for living in a dorm are all good ones.

In the end, finances should be the biggest concern. If you can easily afford the $10,000 for room and board, by all means give it a shot. If you can’t, then you must do an honest cost-benefit analysis. Of course commuting has a cost as well (gas, opportunity, etc), but you can and will save a lot of money.
