There's a state college in almost every city that you can commute to. It's not disingenuous to talk about forking an extra $12k a year "for the experience".

- bruceb 6y agoBut living in the dorms can make you lifetime friends that might be worth well more than $12k
- scarmig 6y ago$50k in extra debt is a whole lot of money to pay in exchange for the promise of friendship. And I get it, and the value. But most people would be better served with an alternative system.
- NateEag 6y ago> $50k in extra debt is a whole lot of money to pay in exchange for the promise of friendship. I'd amend this to "the possibility of friendship". I'll add that I got a professional friendship from college that's lasted sixteen years so far - very much the kind of thing the GP was talking about. Both of us were commuters doing the last two years of our degrees at a commuter school. We didn't need to pay for dorms to meet each other and develop friendships.
