" I know that the &amp;quot;full college experience&amp;quot; consists of leaving home, staying in a dorm on campus, and having a roommate. So, if I commute to college while living at home, will I miss out on the experience? The &amp;quot;full college experience&amp;quot; is different for everyone. For some it&amp;#039;s living on campus and having a roommate, for others it&amp;#039;s being in a sorority. Some will be college athletes and spend a lot of time traveling with the team, and others will hold down part-time jobs or live at home and commute to campus. The bottom line is that college is whatever you want to make it. The important thing is to make friends and get involved in whatever activities, clubs, organizations, or social events spark your interest. If you&amp;#039;re living off campus, you may have to put a little more effort into meeting people. You may not have the built-in social calendar of living in a dorm, but you can certainly make friends in your classes, extracurricular activities, study groups, and campus hangouts. Remember, college is uncharted territory for everyone, so chances are the students you meet are just as eager to make new friends as you are. Great friends will make your college experience one of the most unforgettable times of your life. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
