Commuting vs. On Campus living

Let’s just say that commuting isn’t going to be the best option for you, especially with a 30-min drive. It’ll be a lot harder for you to make friends commuting also. I believe that commuting would give you the community college feel, rather than the whole “college experience”.

The school I’m transferring to is about an hour away from my house, but my mother will be moving away to a different country so either way I’d have to stay on campus. I live by a very busy freeway, and I’d be driving into the inner Los Angeles area; if you’ve ever been to LA, you’ll understand why I’d rather live on campus than drive daily to school. Driving an hour to and from LA would be too much on my car, and it would be too exhausting for me.
