Answer 1

If you're only going in 2-4 days a week, then it depends on your travel the rest of the time, if you use bus/tube much outside of college the a weekly/monthly pass might be a good idea.

If you only need one bus to get in, a pay-as-you-go Oyster might be a good idea, as a bus trip is only about 90p each way, so a return trip would be £1.80, if you went 2 times a week thats still only £7.20.

Answer 2

if you are 18/19 you will get free travel on the buses with a photocard signed by your school. If you are 19-21 you will get a photocard for being in full time education which entitles you to 30% adult rate buses passes for a week, month, year and all travel cards. But you still pay adult rate on the buses and train. So if you are 19 upwards get a buse pass for the week which is like £15.60 and you can get that for £10.92  

Answer 3

If you use the bus/tube more often than just to college you should get a student pass. The monthly ones are great.
