College Commuting Woes?

I have enrolled in a college that is an hour away from my town. It seems great, but the thing is, I can't afford to live on campus, so I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have two options: Commuting via train every day, or living with my uncle who lives closer to my college. The obvious choice would be to move in with my uncle, I know, but here's the thing: I have a job in the town I live in now. And it's helping me PAY for college. So....I'm in a serious catch-22. I don't want to quit, but things are looking grim. Any suggestions?
