Dorm or commute?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Washington

<p>If I drive to UW it takes about 20 mins if there's no traffic. Usually there's traffic on I-5 lol.
This depends if I can get a car this fall.
If I bus then it would take an hour.
I am not sure what I would do in the event where I have classes that are 3-4 hours apart.
Living in a form could fix this. However, I have heard mixed reviews about living in a dorm.
I heard that the bathrooms are really nasty lol.
Would going to the library during the gap be good?</p>

<p>What would you guys do?</p>

<p>Are you worried about the cost of dorming? If cost isn’t an issue, dorm. There are always downsides of anything.</p>

<p>You could dorm for a quarter to try it out, then move out to an apartment if you don’t want to commute for an hour.</p>

<p>There are plenty of ways to kill a few hours on or around campus. Go eat lunch, take a nap in one of the many good nooks all over, do the daily crossword and sudoku, maybe even be the only person in the class to do the suggested reading. I wouldn’t even let this factor into a decision to stay at home or live in a dorm/apartment, honestly. It’s too trivial compared to the real concerns (overall cost, independence, friendships, etc.).</p>
