College, to commute or not to commute?
I want to commute to a college when I transfer next semester. It’s only a half hours drive and I want to live at home. I love my family and I don’t like the idea of living on a campus because I hate the party scene, drugs, alchol, sex etc. It’s a christain college, however I’ve heard they can have just as much a party scene as regular schools.
However, my mom disagrees and won’t let me commute, demanding I live on campus. She acts like she wants me to drop out of college and get a job. (most people say she’s jealous about me going to college…) I’m making good grades and everything and we’ve always had a good relationship. How can I convice her to let me commute? (Before this she said I would be allowed to)
I mean I have no desire to live on campus. So I needed advantages to live on campus and to convince my mother of the same.
if you feel more comfortable living at home… convince ur mother to let you stay.. tell her how you (and she) can save with the rent…and at least they would be sure of safety…ask her why she wants you to live in campus.. if you can get a part-time job.. get one (but school should be your priority).. then use that money to help with the house.. buying grocery and such…maybe that will help your mother ease up a little bit..
