Dorming?
Hey 19/f
So i'm going to be transfering to a college that is about 40 minutes away from my house, so the commute is relatively short. However recently i've been feeling like i'm missing out on an important part of my life... not dorming and everything. If i were to dorm it would be a lot easier because then i wouldn't have to deal with bridge traffic (I live in new york).
I am in my second year at a community college and am totally miserable because I have no friends. Everyone literally goes to class and goes home.... I am kind of shy but i'm not that shy! I feel like I am missing out on a part of my life I am meant to experience at my age. I guess I just want some advice and info about what dorming is like from experience. I'm at a total loss because what if i hate it? Or what if i don't go and i regret it for the rest of my life? I have always been a home body, and that's whats stopping me. Change freaks me out but part of me feels like a new lifestyle is what I need. The other half is scared to death.
Help?

Honestly, you are saving a lot of money by not staying on school campus. It is a very smart decision, especially with today's economy. Don't fret, you have your entire life to make friends and experiment.

Your question is very relatable. I am 21 and also feel that I commute to and from school without having any actual friends. My college is also 30-40 minutes away and as soon as I get the chance money-wise, I would like to move on campus for the experience.
Of course there's a possibility that you'll hate it, but chances are, it will be a good experience. You'll likely meet other people dorming that are looking to make friends, so I think you should give it a try!
