I commuted and hated every minute of it. I went to a resident school. Very little attention was paid to commuters.
I wanted to go away to school, but I was the first born and my parents didn't want to let me go yet. They bribed me to stay home with a car. All of my siblings went away to school.
On the bright side, I paid 100% of my college education, I worked 35 hours per week and took 21 credits per semester and went to all summer sessions and between semester sessions. I graduated in 2.5 years with a 4-year degree and only $9,000 in loans. Ah, the good old days. My kids would never have been able to get out so unscathed.
