Commuting 20 mins from home vs on-campus?

I’ve done both. My dorm experiences haven’t been too greats thanks to randomly selected roommates, but I would suggest trying out the dorm. I missed so much when I commuted – it was only during a summer for a pre-college program, but most of us commuters missed out on making friends during it and going to all the programs just because they wouldn’t tell us about anything on campus. I’m sure it’s different commuting during the school year, but it’s sort of nice to be able to just walk into the hall and have people around.
