<p>I currently go to ISU and live in an off-campus apartment, and I love living there, but its coming time to start thinking about renewing the lease to the apartment and the 4 other guys I live with are going to graduate this year, and the other guys that I would live with don't know if they will have room for me to come into their apartment.</p>
<p>I'm considering moving into the duplex that my parents own that is a few blocks away from their house. It will be about a 35 mile commute from my house to campus. My dilemma is whether or not it would be a good idea. I am planning on only have classes either 2-3 days a week as by that point I will only have a 12 credit schedule since I will be a senior, and I also work in the city where my parents live and stay there on weekends currently, but I also have a second job traveling around central Iowa in about a 200 mile radius.</p>
<p>The driving isn't an issue to me, I do a lot of that already. I just wonder whether or not it would help keep me from distractions, and since I'm not much of a bar hopper, I wouldn't be missing out on that. It also helps that I get along great with my parents and have a ton of friends that I work with on the weekends, and having my own private place would be great in my opinion. I need to make this decision by the 12th of January so any relevant input would be much appreciated.</p>
