The school I really want to go to is in my hometown. It’s a private school so it’s pretty expensive, but Im fortunate enough to be the recipient of a grant that covers all of my academic tuition. I really want to move out and live on campus, experience college life and stuff, but that would cost me more money than I can scrape up right now. My homelife isn’t the worst, but it’s not ideal. As I kid I only wanted to go to college so that I could move out at 18. Sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out from living here, but I can’t afford this great school otherwise. My education would almost be completely free if I just lived at home.
How much time do college students really spend in their dorms? Im assuming you’re studying at the library, working, or in class all the time. Ive heard that the only time some students spend in their dorms is for sleeping. If I only had to come home for sleep then I could manage that. Im sure it would be slightly different than if I actually lived on campus.
I guess Im asking how much time would I be spending at home as a full time college student? I do plan on joining clubs and Im going to be a stem major if that helps.
