Hello,
I'm not really at this point yet, but I'm going over my finances right now to try to predict future spending. I wanted to see if it was common for in-state residents who do not live far from their medical schools to live at home and commute to their schools. I live with a large family and my commute would likely be around 2 hours every day. I would have less privacy to study and would not be able to find connections near the school. Is it wiser to just commute and cut a lot of living expenses from renting? It would be far more convenient to try to find an apartment close to the school, so my commute would be shorter and I could find research or other clinical roles around the area. Is this a reasonable argument for renting an apartment despite living nearby-ish and is this a common thing that people do?
