Is it good for uni students to live away from home?

DD is applying for unis for next year. She is considering living at home and commuting to a local uni to cut down on living costs. Will this make it more difficult for her to make good friends with other students if she stays living at home? Obviously, we will support whichever option she chooses.

...some of what you say happened to you was is about your own choices and lack of boundaries.

Fucking hell, @N0TMYIDEA, that is one of the most vile comment I have ever read on MN. Victim-blaming an 18-year-old is low.

I'm so sorry for what happened to you, @Ardith, and that you were put in an unprotected, toxic situation.

It's very expensive to rent away from home, but they learn to cope with renting and cooking etc.
