<p>I live in Brooklyn and it would take me approximately 50 minutes to reach NYU everyday. Is not dorming an action I would regret in the future?</p>
<p>Many students commute, and by and large they don’t seem to feel like they missed out on too much. There are a ton of events just for commuters, and they generally have a pretty good community. That being said, if you really want the “traditional” experience and the cost isn’t prohibitive, you can always live on campus for freshman year and then commute for the rest of your time here</p>
