I always commuted from home to school and never really wound up making good friends there - it was easier to fall back on friends I grew up with. I think living on campus your first year will help you establish dorm friends and may make it easier to join clubs and activities where you can expand your friend base. My D lived on campus the first 2 years but is now off campus and doesn’t room with any of her friends from the previous years. They are taking classes together and are making the effort to hook up for meals, hikes, etc. You will have to work a bit harder, but it can be done. The $$ savings will be worth it.
