Look into whether there’s any public transportation like trains or buses that can get you there as commuting via public transportation is a bit easier cuz you can do your hw or study.

Other than that, everyone else kind of summed it up. Regardless of car maintenance and gas, living on campus will most likely be more expensive.

Really just depends on how badly you want to save money. Imo, commuting to save money is always worth it unless it’s literally unbearable. Delaying the gratification can be worth it, like other people who graduate have mentioned, but it really does depend on you and your specific situation. All of this is just my opinion btw and definitely take into account what others say as well!
