So, I'm baffled by the whole 'how to get to uni' thought. I'll be a stuent at UNSW in just a bit more than a week for 4 days a week, and recently, my dad decides to throw the option of me having to drive there. I live in the western area of Sydney, and usually by train it'll take me 40 mins (via the east hills line) or close to an hour via the South line. Then you've got the 15 min bus ride to UNSW. My dad seems to be protective, so is encouraging me to drive there everyday. I tried weighing the pros of cons of getting there by car or simply taking the train, and the pros of the train seem to have outweighed the pros of driving there. My dad is willing to cover expenses for petrol/parking and all, which I find inconvenient. This is not the only problem, considering the fact that I will finish at peak hour for 3 days out of the 4 - so I'm really starting to question it all. In the morning, I'll have to leave, say 6.30 to make it to uni just before my class starts at 9, and I don't think this is preferable for me because i'd be waking up almost half an hour-an hour later if i were to catch the train. I don't know what to do! My dad is fixed on the option of driving there, but it's just not going to work! Also, I'm really worried about parking spaces at the Uni - which could potentially turn everything around. Please tell me what you guys think. I need to convince my dad that driving is not the better option in terms of conveniency, so please share your thoughts! Thank you guys.
