In this episode of Freshman Year Diaries, I’m sitting down with my good friend Max to talk about what it’s really like to go to college in your hometown. While many freshmen pack up and move hours—or even states—away, Max stayed close to home and made his college campus just a new chapter of a very familiar place. We dive into the unique challenges, the unexpected perks, and how staying local shaped his freshman year (and beyond). From balancing old friendships with new ones to finding independence while still living near family, Max shares honest insights and advice for anyone considering a hometown college experience. Whether you’re planning to stay close or head far away, this conversation is full of real talk you won’t want to miss!
