When you think about college, a common question seems to arise, "Should you commute or dorm?" We all can agree that college and alone is very expensive and including room and board can stray someone away from paying all of the expenses. As a result many students find it cheaper commuting from home, and this isn't necessarily bad if you are unable to afford it. For instance you'll be able to cut hundreds of dollars per month from rent and you can use the money you accumulate by purchasing gas to get to campus or maybe even paying off student loan debt. Another advantage is that you'll be able to have your privacy be able to have your work done in a more quiet area with fewer distractions. But prices shouldn't discourage from deciding to dorm, you'll be able to live the college experience and best of all be away from your family. Ultimately the decision is up to you.
2. Is college necessary?
There is really no reason for you not go to college. Despite the cost of tuition, there is really no harm in getting your college degree. Many students are discouraged from going to college because they feel that they are "not good enough" or that "college is too expensive", but there are so many advantages that come with a college degree. Many high-level jobs require a college degree and this will allow employers to pick and choose between those with just a high-school degree and those with a college degree. You'll have a least likely chance of being fired compared to those without a degree at all. Another advantage you'll have is that you'll have the proper training and skills to assist you in your field of work. And most importantly, the amount of money you'll be able to make is the difference maker between a college degree and a high school diploma. College is possible the best investment you could make and college will eventually pay off in the long run.
1) Personally, I've been told that you should dorm for at least your first year simply because you're still learning the campus and it would be beneficial to set up a support system and have close connections with friends through the HS-College transition.
ReplyDelete2) I believe college is necessary, at least if you don't want to have to worry about your financial situation throughout your life. It provides to you the level of education necessary to get the higher paying and higher skilled careers, and it gives you more flexibility with career changes or moving to different areas.
2. Nice you explained everything thoroughly I strongly agree with your position. I believe college is an essential key to achieving a successful career... unless you're lebron James and Kobe straight out of highschool haha.

ReplyDeleteMany of the university have students live on campus for their freshman year. Simply so they learn to the campus. After that I would find an apartment near by that doesn't cost much just to keep some pocket money.
