Not mental just poor. Stayed at home and went to the local uni because it was affordable.
It was 1hr each way, but about 80 miles total. There was never really much traffic at least.
I drove a fuel efficient car so this was definitely cheaper than renting plus utilities. Probably costed about $60 a week in gas. $240 was not enough to get a room, rooms went for about $400. Even then I’d still have to drive from the room to campus
Not having a car where I’m from is abject poverty. The nearest store to me growing up was a gas station 3 miles away. Absolutely no public transport at all. You had to have a car to eat and to work or to do basically anything.
My first 2 years of college I car pooled with a friend and worked by sharing a car with my parents. Eventually I saved up and could buy a used car that was a decade old

I mean I did the math for you.
