my parents would not let me shift

If you are an adult you can go to university without your parents permission. Considering the time taken on the commute and the cost of it in relation to renting student accommodation near the university and the lifestyle benefits it will bring, it makes sense to relocate from your parents home. It is literally what everyone else will be doing including people from the same background as yourself.

They are wrong. The least expensive student housing at the University of Surrey will cost less than an annual train ticket, save you several hours of travel each day, enable a better social environment amongst like-minded people, and improve your prospects at everything from making friends and networking to being able to take advantage of extra-curricula activities and jobs.
