When comparing costs, consider the cost of gas and wear and tear on your car, and also the cost of a campus parking pass. Also, what would you do for meals? Would you brown bag from home, or would you need a meal plan on campus? There is also value to be assigned to your time–you could be studying or working with all the time you will be commuting.

Is there a school closer to home if you want to commute? 90 minutes each way, or even just in total for a day, adds up to an awfully big chunk of time.
