I will be a freshman at my local community college and my options are to either spend over 6,000 dollars on room and board or move in with my boyfriend, who also attends this school, and his parents. They do not require me to live on campus my first year I have already checked.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years and face few issues. I understand that there is a possibility of breaking up though, and in that case I will move home and drive 40 minnutes to school everyday. This may seam like a lot to you but I am from a rural community and am currently driving 55 miles to high school everyday, so this does not concern me.
I understand that it is easier to make friends and stuff in the dorm, but majority of kids who go to this college here don’t live in the dorms anyway and I also will only be attending here for 1 year.
Do you think I should save the money and live with my boyfriend/ my home or should I move to the dorm rooms anyway.
