If you can commute simply to classes, why make life harder with crippling rent payments? Just remember, your social life is what you make it
When deciding which five universities to apply to, I chose all London options. My parents had no issue with me moving out of my west London family home, but they reminded me that they had raised our family in London for its educational and career opportunities. With the best universities only an hour’s train ride away, the savings I could make by staying at home were significant.
I accepted my LSE offer, and prepared to commute. With friends paying at least £250 a week to rent in London, I couldn’t justify moving out when I could travel for £10 a day.
