Hi everybody

I’m a sophomore transfer at CAS and until now i assumed I would be living on campus (Warren) due to lack of any good cheap apartments (at least i found) in th Fenway/kenmore area. I decided to just decide based on proximity as Warren is closest to CAS. However I now found one and is located in west campus near brookline. It’s about a 20 minute walk to CAS. However I wonder, is distance to the college really worth the struggle of living in a smaller dorm (I heard warrens pretty terrible)?
What has been your experience/ what do you think? I’m saving a ton of money by moving off campus although I do not know if the distance almost a mile could negatively affect my studies. Such as not being able to make it on time (i have no idea how reliable the T is) as well as cooking my own food taking a ton of time as well.

Thanks!
