I'm deciding between living on campus or commuting to Optometry school for my first year only.
My drive would be about an hour every morning, and I'd have to leave pretty early to make the 7am exams. I have an estimate of about $8,000 for my first year living 15 min away from campus. (there are no closer locations)
Keeping in mind the rigor of Optometry school, would it be more advisable to live near campus and save that hour of commute. Or is the commute doable and should I save myself an additional $8,000 in loans and debt.
Any insight at all would be much appreciated! Thank you!
