<p>One program I've been thinking of is Harvard SSP as a commuter. I really would love to live on campus but I don't have the funds. So I'm wondering if commuting will detract from my SSP experience. Like, I still want to be able to make friends and do all that fun campy stuff - will that happen if all I do is go to classes?</p>
<p>You only have classes 3 hours a day for 5 days a week at the most, so it wouldn't be quite the same.</p>
