Is it better to commute 1 hour from home or to rent a room by myself next year for uni? I would be more open to living away but I don't have any friends to room with so it seems useless
Rent a room next to your university
First of all, you will often feel like you don't want to go to university, and having to travel 1 hour makes this feeling almost unbearable if you are not strong willed enough, you might become one of these people that only appear in 50% of the classes
Second, you are wasting thousands of hours, isn't your time worth at least a rent?
If you live with your parents this is not even a question, rent a room next to uni, everyone needs to do this at some point
8*8/x = 8*6*8*4^0.5 <=> 1/x = 6*2 <=> x = 1/12
I got bored

I'd recommend going for the 1 hour ride if the cost isn't too big.
I do this for a few years already and have met people who had it even worse than me.
Make sure you stay for as long as possible everyday to make it worthwile and study there till it's dark. This way you will be dedicated enough and keep discipline aswell as you might go out with others after you're done there.
Depending on where you study you won't need to go to all the classes, infact you might even become an engineer by skipping most lectures.

if you can afford it, rent a room, even if its wit hstrangers. otherwise one year from now you'll come here whining about how everyones having an amazing college experience but you cant even date cuz you live with mommy.

If you can schedule things right, it might work.
My university had classes that either were
1) 1 hour mon-wed-fri
2) 1h30 mins tues-thurs
3) 3 hours any one day, usually in the evening
If you can schedule it so you only go to university 3 or 2 days a week, commute. If you cannot, consider finding shack to rent. Or, find a place you can pay half rent and crash during the week but not the weekend.
If you are considering working during this time, consider are you going to be working close to home or the university.
If you end up commuting, get audiobooks for the drive.
