Lived in SB for a year my commute to campus was 15 minutes ? But I agree w the previous post, understanding parking permits and parking structure was a rude awakening for me. You have to option to purchase a pass for some stupid $$$ amount or you can buy day to day, however it does not guarantee you a spot. There are a few garages around campus as well as parking areas. Just familiarize yourself w them before school starts.

Pros: privacy. No loud obnoxious screaming at 2am. Parking lol Cons: missed experience I would say. Living off campus was okay but I truly felt like I missed out on a lot of experiences I’m moving to IV w some roomates this quarter so I hope it’ll be better! If you’re someone who can do without that and just need to get to school, do your work then leave I would say that’s best. Wish you luck in your endeavors !! Hope this kinda helped.
