Who commutes to college everyday?

[GoldenBear]

How far do you drive, how is it, and is it worth the saved money?

I ride to school, its about 2+ miles each way.. Round trip is about 5 miles. I use my motorcycle.. so gas that I use is negligible..

Edit: I have the car pass, but I wont use it until 6 weeks are over when I acn actually find some car parking.. at this moement.. weather is good for riding to school in the morning.

I know a cute half Japanese/half white girl who used to commute 30 minutes to school everday until this year...It was more her being homesick than trying to save money though...

Takes me ~20 mins to get to school every day.

I commuted to college for 4 years at about 30 miles a day and now I am on my third year of commuting to law school also about 30 miles a day. I don't think I saved much becacause the old 85 Bronco gets about 10 miles per gallon and my weekends were spent either under the hood or under the car. Dorm life would drive me crazy though - I live on a small farm and have tons of things to do. My social life is quite lacking, but thats why I spend alot of time online. Also I could always get the schedule I wanted - no stinking 8:00 classes! If I had it to do again, I would make the same choice - no regrets.

I commute everyday including saturday

drive for a normal person is about 25 min without traffic..

it takes me 15 min ( took me 12 min at one time )

it wasn't really to save money

the apartment I was suppose to get was given to someone else at the last minute...

I also get money to go to school

15 subway ride to school ain't so bad.....especially when u live in a building with a/c, broadband, cable, gym, sky lounge, and lots of hot women. jus happens to be 4 blocks from the WTC.

My school is about 9 miles away....takes 20 minutes to get there in traffic. I use about $15 gas a week, which equals $780 a year, which is 1-2 months worth of rent. Yes, worth the saved money.

I know a guy who commutes 2 HOURS each way! He didn't send his residence app in time and couldn't find an apartment that he could afford.

I commuted an hour each way (with no traffic) for 1 week because my dorm room caught on fire, and for one summer cuz it was too expensive to live on campus... I will never do it again! ... That New Jersey commute with traffic ended up being 2 hours plus on some days! ... If it is too far away I say it isn't worth it. Personally I feel about 80% of what I learned at college came from living on campus. (And thats not because I never went to class) ... The best part of college is living away from home.. But sometimes the amount of money you'll be saving because you live 5 minutes from campus is worth it I guess.

Also, most colleges here don't have dorms. Doesn't work like the American colleges.. its more like high-school, here

I commute about 15 minutes to school...its not bad, and I save like 5 grand a year by not living there

<< How far do you drive, how is it, and is it worth the saved money? >>



from my place to school is about 25 o so miles.

how is it: its fine. i get there within 15-20 mins.

what saved money? i do admit that it does get expensive with gas, but i've been doing it since Jan, so i've managed.

[Blayze]

I drive... 25 to 30 mins everyday

its a community college, so you can't live there

 

[spanky]

[polypterus]

I commuted for the past 4 years, about 25 miles each way... loved it. I hate people, and I love driving, so perfect situation for me... oh yeah not mention I saved a ton of money.

i take a half hour bus ride... costs 30 bucks a quarter (u-pass). otherwise it's like a 20 minute drive.... not bad, and i get free parking if i can snare two friends to come parking with me.

I commute at the U of Minnesota and all I have to say is, the bus is teh bomb! The school has this buspass, $50 a semester, ride anywhere, anytime on any metro transit bus as opposed to paying $1.75 each way in rush hour. The bus is fast and pretty convenient but not as convenient as being able to be home in a matter of minutes walking back to the dorm. Though, dorm life is crazy and hectic, get homework done? hahahahahah. I have an apartment with a friend and I love having my own place, no one bothers me, I do what I wnat, cook what I want. I love it.
