Replies holysaiyan1 Posted at 6:25 am on Nov. 20, 2006 Advantages that I can think of: -Free laundry -Free home-cooked meals -Your own bed Disadvantages that I can think of: -Missing out on hanging out with friends over the weekends -Might be considered a "loser" for not socializing -Gas money, more miles on your car -Might become too dependent on family, not dependent on self like you should be in college. I seriously do not go home almost at all during the school year, and I didn't last year either.  It is like a two-hour drive home, and plus, I like living on my own and being able to do pretty much whatever I want.  I went home for breaks and such, and it took a little getting used to, being back under my parents' roof and following the rules again.  However, I do miss my family sometimes, but I have really great friends in my mod, so I guess it balances out. dyl Posted at 12:39 pm on Nov. 17, 2006 i would stay where i was all the time only going home on holidays of a week or longer. because i cant be bothered traveling BurtonBOARDER Posted at 7:39 pm on Nov. 15, 2006 you get your own personal shower, you get to sleep in your own bed, and a home cooked meal mmmmmm true blue Posted at 7:33 pm on Nov. 15, 2006 I live in residence right now and go home on weekends, but that is only because I have to work on weekends and it would be a killer to go from school to work. If I didn't work on the weekends I would more than likely just stay at residence. All 4 previous replies displayed.
