Today a person who works for the new The Vista apartment introduced me to the new apartment complex. He was really nice guy and gave out a lot of information from what I would expect if I decided to move in. He answered the questions that I was curious to learn about and gave me a handout.  I'm pretty sure you have heard of the new Vista apartment that are being built just across from the school. Since I commute everyday to school, I was debating rather I would save more money living in those apartment rather than commuting. My drive from home to school is 50 miles which totals to 100 miles there and back. Since I commute about 5 days a week that totals to about 500 miles a week. I did the math and I spend around 40 bucks a week on gas alone. That totals to 160 a month. Now to lease an apartment in the Vista is about 550 a month. Money wise commuting would be the best option in saving money. But if I had the choice, I would get an apartment just because commuting long distances can be a pain sometimes. Getting an apartment here in Turlock would mean more sleep, save time on commuting, and more time to myself. And it would also help get me more involved in school activities that happen on campus. It would help to grow more independent on myself instead of relying on other people. But for now commuting would be the best choice for me in the long run. What do you think?
