<p>Do you guys think its worth it to live in a dorm at UW or commute? I'm gonna go there in fall of 2013 to get a bachelors in social welfare. I'll be transferring in as a junior from a community college.
I'm considering living on campus, otherwise it would almost an hour long bus ride to school.
Do you guys think I should live on campus or stay home and bus everyday? If I live on campus I'll need to work my butt off this year applying for scholarships to afford the room and board.</p>
<p>Commuting is for sure the better option. I’m starting my first year in the Social welfare program this fall and I too came from a community college! Best of luck!</p>
<p>Oh, I don’t know about that. I think it depends on a lot of factors. Most tend to congregate in certain housing areas more then others.</p>
<p>I am currently a senior living on campus and I’ve known plenty of other junior/seniors who have. I even know some grad students all of which (of people i know) live in Steven’s Court. I’m sure many live in Blakely Village as well.</p>
<p>Also, I must add…to comment on the OP: He should commute since it sounds like it will be cheaper for him.</p>
<p>Don’t commute. That extra 10 hours a week, plus innumerable extra hassles won’t be worth it in the long-run. Rent a room somewhere at a house nearby. It will be worth the $300 a month. For sure.</p>
<p>The more you want to experience the college social life, the more worth there will be in living on campus. If money is a greater concern, then it would be best to commute. </p>
<p>It sure would be nice if my commute was only almost an hour.</p>
