Depends on how far the drive in/How much it costs to live on campus/if you like living at home or not.

i didnt have much of a choice. i couldnt afford to go to a big university and live in the dorms. if you can, go for it.

In a dorm, make sure you have/make friends, or you'll probably end up depressed which will impact your studies.
Although, being close enough to live at home is great, not much change and you stay comfortable in your personal environment, rather than going through a period of adjusment.

Join a Frat bro

This is usually the part where we all call PSU a dumbass, but it really is a financially sound decision to live at a frat house.

It's not that much of a problem for me. From the age of 16 (my 19th birthday was last April) until last summer I was all alone so I could probably do it again.

Dorms are shit

Dorms are shit

It's only the first year, in the UK only first years at university get to stay in dorms. They hope that after your first you've made friends and can find student housing.

Wait

You're still living with mum?

Yes, I'm only 19.

dude, seriously, make friends in college, and make friends with people in other majors. a new friend could give you a big break later on in life.

A lot of people go to uni just for the experience. And by that I mean partying.

Its the main reason why I'm going to be moving out.

I'm going to do a degree in petroleum engineering so I won't have time to party. It's not really something I enjoy anyway.

Would your parents be paying for the dorm?

lolno
Everything will be covered by government student finances of which I'll pay back through the tax system after I graduate.

So you got a grant or state scholarship? Can't you just pocket that money if you live at home?
