live on campus or commute?

So I am torn between living on campus next year or continuing to commute. my friends are getting an awesome on-campus apartment and I really want to live with them. However. I know it is much more practical to continue commuting to school (it's only a 10 minute drive). I will be going to law school in a couple years so I know i should save money for that. But I also know I would have so much fun being on campus and actually experiencing college life.

Pro: 

-fun
-friends
-closer to library
-easier access to facilities
-sleep later, less time needed in morning to drive to school
-save gas money

Con: 

-$10,000....as opposed to $0
-lose money that could be going to law school
