What is everybody's opinion on travelling to uni everyday? (I mean, say > 2-3 hrs per day?) Does it affect your studies etc?

It should in a way. I had friends who travelled for 4 hours to and from high school and she said she rather go to a school closer to her.

Not really (in terms of having any impact on my studies). I have between 3 and 4 hours of travel in total each day, and a long train trip is great for catching up with friends or getting a bit of work done.

Yeah, it's not too bad, I travel 2 and a bit hours each way to get to uni and back home, and it doesn't really affect me much... depends on the type of student you are, if you're one who doesn't exactly need to do hours of study, you'll find it fine, but if you do it can be a bit of a drama. But if you're travelling on train etc. it gives you perfect time to get stuck into some uni work on the way home, or catch up on stuff due that day on the way to uni.

I travel about 30 an hour every day coz my course is a full time course which is 2, 3 hour lectures a day 5 days a week so its a only a one year course plus i'm doing an internship at the college and its at the Sydney turf club 2 days a week, unpaid but the idea is to get the training and qualifications for it all so we will be ahead of ppl who have been at uni doing marketing for 3 year, but i have the qualifications so i would get preference which is really cool.

I'm glad i didn't go to UNI a business college is so much better.

nahhhh, it isn't bad at all, if your thinking of moving out just for this reason, get a car instead, moving out will costs much more than getting a car, and you will miss your mummy's food

haha well buying a car isn't that great either cos if you go to uni in the city, it takes you HELLA longer to get there and back (traffic) and around $10 a day for parking. that's not including petrol either, and trying to find a parking

to get to my uni of choice i will have to travel around 2hrs every day to get there and back. i dont really think of it as a lot, coz its already 40 minutes to get to skool and back, so its not a huge drive for me. i will be driving (no public transport, i live in 'the country') so i wont get to use that time for study. but its all about prioritising and making time for study.

I drive ... 25 minutes each way. Wouldn't waste my time on a bus/train/bus b/c it takes too frickin long.

Also it's free if I drive - my parents pay for my petrol/insurance.

Your in Uni now, you should learn how to be "indepedent" or are you one of those daddy's gurl or daddy's boy?

Anywayz is none of my business but seriously you should learn to become "indepedent"

Why should I? Just because you have to? Tough luck.

You're right, it is none of your business. You have no idea if I'm "independent" or not. Just because my parents pay for petrol doesn't mean I'm dependent. They offer, and its one less thing I have to pay for.

Yeah If I moved out I wouldn't be able to use my parents' car. I don't think I could afford a car and the running costs, so it would be public transport.
