Is 35 miles (one way) too far a commute to school?

Question

I work full time and will be taking evening classes 4 days a week part time. The school is roughly 35 miles away from my full time job. Would you do it?

Other factors - I will be able to leave work early enough to get to school at night in plenty of time. I also live at home w/the parents so I have no hefty expenses.

Thanks!

Answer 1

no it's not too far.

it's ok in my opinion

Answer 2

You're still looking at 280 miles per week just for back and forth to school, which is about 13-14,000 miles/yr . Add on your errands and weekend travels and it could really pile up (no pun intended) . If you're comfortable with the arrangement and can afford it, by all means, go for it . Or take a look around the campus area and see what the accommodations are like there, check with some classmates and get their take . Weigh your options, make your decision.

All the best
