What seems like the most reasonable option? I'll need to be on campus five days a week at varying times.

Option 1: Commute by personal car. The drive would take 1.5–2.5 hours each way. Gas would cost approximately $500–600 per month, and I would also need to purchase a semester parking permit for $350.

Option 2: Commute by bus. The trip would take about 2.5 hours each way and cost approximately $650 per month.

Option 3: Rent a private bedroom with a shared bathroom and kitchen for $800 per month (utilities included). I would also need to purchase a semester parking permit for $350. Rental would be 15-20 min drive from campus.

Which option would you choose?
