How hard do you think this will be?

Question

Because some recent plans fell through, I am probably going to have to live at my parents house next year and commute to the university I attend. It is about a forty minute ride without traffic and I am hoping to set my schedule up where my classes are a little bit later in the morning so I don't have to deal with morning traffic. Also, I am going to have to have an internship a couple of days a week that I will have to drive to that is about an hour away. do you think this will be difficult to do? I am an A student as well.

Answer 1

It really depends on the university and on you, but I wouldn't recommend this unless you're really desperate.  Find another place to stay that's close to the university.  Take out student loans if you have to.  If you're going to a "residential college" where most people live around campus, then being a commuter is going to cut you off from the college experience and ruin your social life as well.

Answer 2

you will loose about two hours of each day...

this will cause you to sleep less and/or allow less time for study.

you may find that you are more stressed

can you find someone to commute with?

that way you can share the driving!

Answer 3

Just have to allow enough time for traffic delays and weather. Study on campus between classes.Use your time efficiently and you will do fine. Good luck.
