Dorm Life.

My easiest decision when going through colleges was whether i wanted to commute or not. Everyone told me to go away, where ever I go. Recently someone asked me how far away I lived and when I said 20 minutes they asked me why I lived here. I suppose it is silly that I live here when I could just commute for much less money. I wanted the entire experience and I have to say living here was the best decision I every made. I wonder if commuters only commute because they have to not because they want to so that's why I chose commuting verses living on campus as my topic for my video. I am genuinely interested in other peoples points of view on the subject. I chose this as a topic because its something I'm oblivious to, the option of commuting was never even given to me not that I'd take the opportunity. I know a lot of people who have commuted and then lived on campus and vise-versa and I'm interested to see who feels as if they made the right decision and why. I know my decision to stay here was the right one for me so I'm excited to share what I've learned with others.
I know going away from home seems like a hard thing to do but for me it was what i looked forward to all summer.i wanted to branch out and live in my own world surrounded by my friends. living alone is hard, yes, but its so exciting. It's a building full of kids just eating and studying and yelling and laughing and playing and its honestly the most fun I've ever had. I'm grateful for my opportunity to stay here and I wouldn't trade it for the world. So maybe this video project will change m mind and show me the advantage of commuting and why so many choose that road.
