Howdy. I have lived in a medium-sized college town for my entire life and am currently a senior in high school. I was accepted into this college, and they awarded me a scholarship. 10,000 dollars is what I will receive annually. Normally, I wouldn't have ever considered living in a dorm because I want to graduate college with zero debt, but this scholarship has created a dilemma for me: should I stay at home, which is about five minutes away from campus, or should I reside in a dorm? My tuition is completely covered by the National Guard, and I don't know what to do. On one hand, I want to invest the scholarship money and leave with at least 40,000 dollars in various index funds, ETFs, and stocks. On the other, I want to create opportunities for myself and make a lot of friends while attending college. I have another year to weigh my options since I will be taking a gap year, and I want to know what your thoughts and opinions are on my decision.
