Should I keep dorming on campus?

It sounds like commuting would be a better option for you. You don’t have to feel bad about it, it sounds like you have responsibilities outside college so it’s easy to see how dorms would be an inconvenience. You’ll save a LOT of money by living at home, and I actually know exactly what you mean about #4 because that’s how I felt about dorms. Whether or not you finish out the semester in the dorm is up to you, but there’s definitely no harm in moving out spring semester and living at home. If you decide to leave during this semester make sure you know the consequences, like if you’ll be getting a refund on any of the money or not and how this might effect any financial aid you have.

The one thing you would have to keep in mind is how you could get to school. Do you live close enough to commute by walking, biking, or public transportation? Are there people you could carpool with? Would it be harder to make it to all the practices, games, and other requirements for your hockey team?
