I should be starting this year, any word of advice?

Contemplating whether I should move out or not. If I move out it'll obviously cost more but it should more fun right? Staying at home will be cheaper and I won't have to bother with cooking for myself.

ahhh decisions, decisions.

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

completely depends on the cost of travel vs. the cost of living at the dorm dude.

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.

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.

Depends on the distance, your financial situation, if you have a job, etc, really.

Travelling there everyday is not an option. Thinking about it now I'll be better off just living at home.

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.

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 don't find hard it to talk to people I just never really click with others so becoming actual friends with people is hard.

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.

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?

It's not a scholarship, our government provides loans that cover tuition fees and cost of dorms but you have to pay it back.

I'd rather live close to campus. When I start university, my parents are gonna pay for my apartment (not doing dorms) while I just go to school and do well. I'd say go for it.
