<prompt> Human: Hi guys, first time poster, long time lurker here. I need some help about my college housing situation. Im currently staying in my colleges dorm, paying 335month. But my brother just moved to a town near my college, about 45-minutes drive. Hes agreed to let me stay with him, rent-free. But I already paid a 2-month deposit of 670 which I will lose if I break the lease agreement. And theres 7 months until the end of the semester. So do I forfeit the 670 to save 7 months rent of 2,350?EDIT: Thanks for the responses guys. Really appreciate it! BTW I already crash at my bros place Fri-Mon as I only have classes on Tues-Thurs. And my friends and I hang out in the town my bros place is in on weekends because theres nothing around campus.EDIT 2: Dorms are for first-years only. So next year onwards Ill have to move out. Should I take this as a headstart to get used to commuting?  <response>: My suggestion would be stay at school and gets involved in student organizations that relate to your major and interests. This will pay dividends down the road.
