commuting to laurier

[u/Deep-Media6535]

hey guys! i’m gonna be commuting to wlu from mississauga for the following reasons:

- it’s way too expensive for me to afford dorm and would much rather go in debt for law school

- same commute time for schulich (my second choice)

- my dad said he’d buy me a nice car instead ;)

i honestly really love lauriers program and im so excited to attend this fall. i was wondering, will it make a big difference in my uni experience if i don’t live on res? i just don’t wanna feel “left out” or feel ”weird” for not living on res. and if you also commute, how do you find it so far?

i personally don’t mind a 1h20 commute cuz i go to DT often and it’s around the same (laurier would be one str8 bus)

Please let me know!!

People overrate the “uni” experience. Their definition of it is getting shitfaced at 3 in the morning. Find good friends, join some clubs, and you’ll have fun regardless of if u live there or not

my siblings were saying the same thing. besides i don’t drink so id missing out on half the “experience”.
