Ok, I have a delima. I finally got into NC State for my last 2yrs of college. Right now I live at home and detail within 10miles of my home. NC State is about 20 miles from my home and about 45min with traffic. My buddy and I were thinking about renting an apartment on campus so we wouldnt have to commute as much. Apartments that are decent in this area would be around $500 a month, or $250 a person.

I'm thinking it's a stupid idea. It's already $3000 a semester for college out of my savings, then put probably $2500 on top of that for a apartment, and another $500 for gas (I get free gas now). Thats $6000 out of my pocket. And it's not like I wouldnt have to drive back home, I have to work back at home lol, so i'd STILL have to drive home to work. Only advantage is the college experience and they say that people that live on campus have a higher GPA. Not having to commute would be cool as well.

What do yall think?
