@aldfig0 about 2% of USC commutes. What’s around you is more important than the average.
I’m not saying you must commute as well to have a good college experience, but to say that you aren’t missing anything is a bit ridiculous. At THIS school, he IS an exception.
@GMTplus7 While he may value his time, his parents aren’t paying for it yet. Time values would apply more to personal decisions, here there are other involved
@Popsuker That’s still not insignificant, and you will use a good deal of gas if the drive is over an hour due to stop and go traffic (based on the distance / time ratio and Cali I’m assuming traffic) so my guess is you can bump up your stimate a bit. Overall, it looks like dorming will cost $2000-$2500 per semester. IMO, go for the job if allowed and worry less about the double major if it will affect your time that much. The job experience may statistically help you more than the double major jobwise, and if the double was for interest, nothing stops you from minoring or taking classes in it.
