I’m a freshman at a 4 year university about 30 mins from my home. I plan on staying on campus for freshman year but I want to switch to being a commuter sophomore year to save money and stay close to my family since I’m very close to them. The cost of a dorm/ meal plan on my campus totals up to roughly $12,000. Is it still possible to make friends and keep in touch with them if you commute? I’m looking for at least 3 good friends from college so I’m just curious as to see what everyone else has to say!
