I chose to live at home as a university student. Here’s why I’d recommend it

I take a 40-minute train to Waterloo from my zone five overground station, then walk over Waterloo Bridge to campus. I could tube it, but the air-conditioning, fold-out table and plug socket for laptop charging are worth the extra couple of pounds. This setup allows me to do my uni reading, and the journey passes quickly. I appreciate the buffer time to wake up properly and switch my brain on before heading into lectures and seminars, creating a separation between work and home.
