Is a two hour commute worth it?

Question

What will you do? Two hour commute to your college (add the weather and bumpy roads) or an apartment?

Answer 1

Depends on what you drive...

2 Hours = 110 miles each way

110 x 2 = 220

220/22 miles per gallon=10 gallons

10 x 4 per gallon= $40 a day

$40 x 5 days of class = $200 a week

$200 x 4 weeks a month = $800

$800 + you current rent = ?????

Also think about wear and tear on your car.

Do you really like where you live now?

I hate moving.

How long will this be for?

Wasted time driving.

Answer 2

An apartment.

It's more fun to live on or near campus anyway.  Commuters usually become social outcasts and have difficulty getting involved with activities.

Answer 3

Maybe ten years ago i would say go with it, but now with gas $4+ a gallon, i dont think it would be worth it.

It could work out to be the same though as far as gas and rent, so it is really your choice. I would go for an apartment though becasue it seems to fit college life better.

Answer 4

You will make new friends when school starts. Get one of them to push you back and forth in a wheelbarrow.
