Get a car or live on campus?

We’ll i got into the school i wanted and my tuition is covered by the scholarship money that have received. The biggest hurdle now is paying for room and board. Today my dad proposed that i could either somehow get money to live on campus or that i could get a car for transportation to and from school. The school i am going to is like 30 min. away from my house. Going to school and coming back home seems like it would just be high school all over again. But with the room and board, i’d have to keep finding money every semester to pay for it. I really was looking forward to living away from my parents and having the whole college experience of meeting new people and living on my own and things like that.I didnt really have any close friendships with people and high school and i was looking forward to developing new ones this fall. but its either one or the other. I dont know which one i want. Please help.
