Commuting 20 mins from home vs on-campus?

I agree with navyarf, first semester I went home every weekend. My school, however, has a majority of OOS students so I don’t know anybody from high school here. I feel like I’m throwing away $9,000 for housing and another $9,000 for dining when I’m here. College is a time and money waster, I think. I mean, I’ve got student loans too you know? I’m paying to be uncomfortable! I hate dorm life: my roommate, cold showers, somewhat scheduled eating, the commute to the bathroom and kitchen (with no stove), and loud athletic dept neighbors. In college, it feels like you’re never alone although it’s a lonely place. There aren’t many spots to just be comfy alone. So, I think every situation is relative. I don’t like mine, but I don’t think I would want to live at home. I might get an apartment instead, which would be very nice.
