Hostel:

I commute so I do not live on campus. Living on campus would cost too much and since my home is only a 30-minute drive away, it made sense for me to just commute. Also if I were to live on campus I would need to pay for a meal plan which is expensive.

My girlfriend recommended it to me for their psychology program. And since it's a state college, the tuition was not as expensive compared to out of state colleges. The distance also played a role, it is not far from my home. There is even a bus that goes there from port authority in New York. Being a commuter, this played a big role into choosing this college.
