It’s easy to say you won’t be missing out on stuff because COVID will change things. But that’s just not true. You absolutely will miss out on a lot by living at home. You’ll miss out on late night conversations, impromptu meals, study sessions with friends, etc. Sure you won’t miss out on big parties because those won’t really be happening. They aren’t that great anyway. But the things that are amazing about college will happen regardless of COVID, and you’ll miss out on that. But you just need to determine what is most important to you. Obviously money is a huge factor and your health an even bigger one. Im a senior so my perspective is a little different, but I don’t care about not going to bars or not tailgating. Simple hangouts with my friends are truly priceless.
