If you are attending a local college, especially one without residence
halls, you'll probably live at home and commute to classes. This arrangement has
a lot of advantages. It's cheaper. It provides a comfortable and familiar
setting, and it means you'll get the kind of home cooking you're used to instead
of the monotony (单调) that characterizes even the best institutional food.
However, commuting students need to go out of their way tobecome involved
in the life of their college and to take special steps to meet their fellow
students. Often, this means a certain amount of initiative on your part in
seeking out and talking to people in your classes whom you think you might
like.
One problem that commuting students sometimes face is their parents'
unwillingness to recognize that they're adults. The transition from high school
to college is a big one, and if you live at home you need to develop the same
kind of independence you'd have if you were living away. Home rules that might
have been appropriate when you were in high school don't apply. If your parents
are reluctant to renegotiate, you can speed the process along by letting your
behavior show that you have the responsibility that goes with maturity. Parents
are more willing to acknowledge their children as adults when they behave like
adults. If, however, there's so much friction at home that it interferes with
your academic work, you might want to consider sharing an apartment with one or
more friends. Sometimes this is a happy solution when family tensions make
everyone miserable.
