Commuter students, please read!

<p>I got ED to NYU, but my parents refuse to pay for dorms since i live in Brooklyn. Do you think that commuter students miss out on a lot because they don't dorm? will it make any difference? see, im thinking that since many kids dorm, i will most likely make friends with kids dorming so it will be ok. But im worried it will be more difficult to find a niche.</p>

<p>Your experience is what you make of it. I myself am too tired to wait to go to clubs at six when my day is over by 2. I focus on trying to not smash my head in on the desk when I have four classes in a row. Again, how you do is up to you. I commute from Brooklyn and usually get some reading done on the train and hope nobody exposes themselves.</p>

<p>i got in regular, and am in the same situation.
i don't know.
ill be communting about as far as i do now to go to high school.</p>

<p>I'm currently a junior at NYU and have been commuting from New Jersey since my first semester. I personally like it. It's nice to go home after being done for the day. It's nice to be able to leave everything "school" behind for the evening until the next morning.</p>

<p>im not in.. but... if i do get in.. i dont no if i'd commute. I live in yonkers. I need to try to take a trip down there by train. If it takes longer than an hour.. i think im gunna live in NYU. But apart from the time factor, im curious about the social factor. I mean, i commute to my hs too.. its ok.. but its not great cuz i cant go c my friends whenever i want</p>

<p>see i dont think it will make a large difference because as it is i go to school in the city and hang out mostly in the city. I have been experiencing NY nightlife for the past two years, as much as possible. so i know there will be small differences, but if you make friends with people dorming, can't you sleep the night there once in a while if you leave too late?</p>
