Undergrad off-campus living...mom concerned

<p>Question: How does it affect having a social life in college? I am not really going “off campus”, but may consider commuting from my brother’s place in Cambridge. Near Central Square. So mainly I have two questions.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Will I be able to get into dormitory residences to see/study with my friends by simply swiping in?</p></li>
<li><p>Is the commute worth it? Its so convenient for me right now, but I cannot imagine having to life my life around the bus schedule or T schedule…</p></li>
</ol>
