Replying to Live off Campus at U of Utah vs Take another year off, get California instate tuition...

SnorkBoard:
I messed up registering for housing at Utah. I know the place is a commuter school, and living off campus just doesn't sound fun at all, but now I'd have to. Seems like it would be hard to meet people and get a new little group of friends to do stuff.

My other option is move in with either the G-ma or my cousins that live literally across the street from a community college in LongBeach. If I get a job, get my California drivers license, register to vote, register my car, etc, I'd be able to get instate tuition at any California school. I'm thinking Santa Barbra, and a buch of my friends are getting a house in Tahoe so if I want to take a week end and go up there that doesn't sound bad. Or move in with them and work and go to the CC up there in Tahoe.

The one thing is I've been out of school for 2 years already, I'm 20, I sort of think that taking another year off of school not be smart, and the fact that I'll be 3 years older then everyone else I might become "that weird older guy"

Long term Goals are study Biology, either save the environment (or somehow make a step in the right direction) or become a family practice doctor in a small-medium size mountain town with skiing, mountain biking, and backpacking, maybe surfing near by, hopefully not over working myself and having plenty of time to enjoy the things I like doing even if it means not making $300,000 a year. I'd rather make half that and enjoy my life.

Okay, what would you guys do in my situation?
