There have been a lot of threads here about dorm living for “locals” or commuters. I think you miss out on a whole lot of the college experience as well as a lot of fun by not living in the dorms. If you search for the other threads, you’ll see many arguments both for and against this, but I think the pros outweigh the cons.

Of course, the ~12,000 expense for room and board can be a big factor for some - but if you can swing it financially I’d vote for living on campus.
