It's not that I don't like people or I have a problem with a roommate. It is southern itself I have a problem with and do not want to live there. I like cooking my own meals since conn hall is not my favorite place. I also liked keeping my job back in my hometown.
There is a lot of down falls though. At first most people were cold to me since everyone already made 'friend circles' in the dorms. People do not like letting other people in.
I feel distant from everyone since I can't be on campus all the time. The days I really have time is saturday and sunday, other than that every day I have to drive home and do homework before I go to my job. It is a very stressful and unexciting freshman year.
One article that talked about how commuters graduate later on I can understand. I'm only taking 4 classes next semester, not because I want to but because the classes conflicted or weren't offered other times or enough times or they were at night when I was working. If I lived on campus it wouldn't matter if I had a class at 8. But if my class ends a 10 in the morning, what am I suppose to do for that how time. I could lung my laptop and all my work around with me but since I don't live there I would feel alone and awkward there for so long.
Commuting is a preference of a person and what they like and also, can handle. I know that when I transfer, I wont be commuting, but it also wont be around here.
