<p>I’m planning on living at home (though my commute should be in the range of about 10 minutes), though most people going to a local college (there’s 3 big ones in this area all within a 20 min. drive of pretty everyone who goes to my school) are going to live on campus. At my house, I have my own room, and it’s free, so it just makes sense to me to live at home.</p>
<p>What most people say is that they want more freedom, which could seem like maturity, but I don’t think it really is. Most people have covered that already, but I would like to add that doing something as financially irresponsible as paying 10K a year (or whatever it costs) to share a tiny room on campus with someone when you have a free place to stay with your parents just 10 minutes away doesn’t seem like a mature choice to me.</p>
