I'm a first year that's living on campus. Next year, I'll probably live near campus, and it'll probably stay that way for the duration of my enrollment.

I lived "on campus." That is to say, the first year I lived in the dorms, then the next three years I lived in an apartment that was technically "on campus" but still 15 minutes walking from the Main Quad.
Dorms are fun but also suck for rule-reasons. Apartment on/near campus is the way to go.
i commuted to college. I went to one of the largest commuter schools in the US, kennesaw state university. 2nd largest school in georgia (behind georgia state), and only about 3,500 live on campus (out of 24,000).
Your freshman/sophomore years will seem boring, but once you turn 21 (usually your junior year), its gets better. My freshman/sophomore nights were pretty much just late night trips to white castle and ihop though....

From: MycroProcessor | #003 The distance from the house that I live in to the university I go to is about 15 minutes.
This.
In spite of this, it's cheaper for me to live on campus than to maintain a car, pay for gas, etc. so I live on campus <_<
I also lived on campus when I went to UNT, because that was about an hour away and I don't care to commute an entire hour each way to get to class on a daily basis

I found the opposite to be true for me.
Last semester, my car expenses were something like: $500 in gas $350 in insurance $230 in parking $125 in maintenance =$1,205 (all numbers approximate)
In comparison, most of my friends are paying about $1,000 a month for rent. Considering that, my $3,200 car should pay for itself next semester assuming it doesn't break down or anything.
Where do you live? I'm near Los Angeles, where most people drive because lots of people are in the suburbs (like me!) and public transportation sucks while the rent is too damn high.
First two years I lived at home and commuted. Second two years I lived in an apt across the street. Now that I'm in grad school, I commute from a closeish apartment. In undergrad I was still involved in some clubs and met people, so I don't feel like I missed out on much.
I live on campus and I hope to continue that. Commuting to college would suck so much

unless you enjoy people randomly searching your room and calling the cops cause they found 50$ worth of weed.

But I have scholarship money, so I'm only paying ~300 a month. Even without the scholarships it's only ~6-700ish though.
