Hi I'm in year 13 and I'm thinking about if I should live at home or not during the first year of uni. I live around 30 minutes away from the main campus and even the other unis I'm applying to is only 20-30 minutes away. Is it hard to have a good social life while not living in the uni? If anyone also lives/lived at home in first year what was your experience like and did you make good enough friends that you could move in with in the second year. I'm studying architecture so my course is very long and I think the time to make friends would be a bit longer. My parents are also quite reluctant to me moving out early so it is something to consider.

Thank you for any responses
