At college and it feels nice.
The biggest perk is the freedom. Freedom to do whatever I want whenever, to make my own decisions, and to not be responsible to anybody else except myself. I can stay up late, get up early, make tea or not, walk to dining halls for food or not, study or not, listen to music or not. Time is now only mine, no one else's, and I decide what I want to spend it on or who I want to spend it with.
College is big, different, a little intimidating (I liken it to being a small fish in a big pond). It seems to me to be a lonely place, lonely souls seeking to meet other lonely souls through clubs, organizations, fraternities, and sororities. Time is longer. Classes are larger, different, clock-less, but more flexible.
The internet is a curse and a blessing. Now that I have all the time in a day to be online. Of course, that's time well spent somewhere else, like on a paper due in a few days...
Do I miss home? Sure. It's nice to come home. But if I didn't come home so often?
I think I'd survive just as well.
