I lived on campus my first year, and it was pretty awesome to just walk to class without worrying about traffic, gas money, car troubles, or being late to class.

But realize that just because you are a commuter, doesn’t mean that you can’t have a social life, participate in campus organizations and go to parties and things like that. Is there anyway you can reason with your parents when it comes to attending social functions, parties, and the like on campus? I’m sure they won’t mind. I live at home, and I save thousands of dollars in living expenses every year so I may sound biased towards your parents.

I realize that economics can come into play for some students. but to go to college and continue to live at home is very problematic, to say the least.

That said, Go 49ers! Too bad they don’t play football anymore, but I think it’s cool that their baseball team has a completely separate nickname – The Dirtbags. Seriously!

How are you going to pay for the dorm room? Or more to the point how are your parents going to pay for the dorm room?

Wake up to the real world kiddo! Your parents are probably going in hock deep enough sending you to college as it is. They don’t need the added expense of a Dorm room as well.

You need to try to help them out anyway you can in that respect.

Just browsing through looking for a reference text book of mine I’d leant out and never got back. Found it in a small Louisiana College book store. Got to nosing around just to see how much it cost to go to College there. Liked to have crocked when saw the prices for dorms. And Louisiana in one of the cheapest places in the country to go to College. I know dorms there where you are going to be twice three times higher. Just be glad they can afford to send you to college.

Sorry to throw a wet blanket over things but it is the real world now.

first of all, like i doubt youll schedule your classes like how its been for high school. youre probably guna want to study at the library, at your dorm, go out to eat, play with friends, have a part time job, and everything. you need a dorm!!! its part of the college experience.

tell them to do it or else you will like. idk. idk why a parent would do that.

ohh yeah

and tell them that

they will be wasting more money on gas to drive than them paying for rent in a dorm room
