Board 8 > How many people here commute to their community college/university?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm kinda curious.

I obviously commuted to my community college (I never heard of dorms or anything existing at one, after all). I just transferred to USC, and I'm still staying at home. I have a 17 mile commute each way.

How about you?

I commute 30 minutes to university and 30 minutes back every day. =(

I have about an hour bus ride to school every day. CSULB.

I've commuted to school all 4 years, takes 15-30 minutes.

I'm a Castlevania superfan! Ask me anything!

I start classes Monday, at Community College, and yeah, I'll be driving about 20-25 minutes, and what's worse, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have a class at 7 and then four hours pass after that class before my second one. So I'll sometimes probably have to go home unless I can find enough work to do and just hang out there. I can bring my laptop too, they have wifi.

Oh man only one more day, I'm kinda nervous. It's been over three years since I've been in school...

Awesome, a SoCal-er that takes the bus. I have a question for you.

How far away from CSULB are you, and do you live in Long Beach? Because it takes me up to 2 hours to go to my community college by bus, which is 3-5 miles away from me (car takes about 15 minutes. If I tried to take the bus to USC, I would be on the bus (well, mostly waiting around for the bus) about 2-3 hours each way (meaning up to 6 hours a day in travel time, compared to 1-1:30 hours by driving). I wouldn't mind taking the bus to school if it were quicker over here, because it is a lot cheaper than having a car. I think the problem is that I rely on the bus line of a neighboring city, which not only doesn't care much about the cities around it, but also underfunds the bus line as it is.

Trust me, you'll have work to do. But one thing you could do is try to plan to do your work during the breaks. That way, you could go home and worry less about work. Also, keep an eye out on school activities, clubs, etc. They are very important if you want to go to a good university, and they could probably help you professionally as well. Plus, it's often fun.

I still live in Long Beach, but I live on the exact opposite side of town and have to transfer buses. Still, its immensely cheaper, since I get free bus rides since I'm a student at CSULB.

Heh, free buses are always great. I got bus passes at my community college, too. It was free, and then it cost $5 or something. Not bad.

I did. It sucked ass. Get up at 630 every day and take an hour and a half bus ride, then fall asleep in class for like six hours, then take another hour and a half extremely overcrowded bus ride home. **** my city has the worst transit system ever.

17 mile commute in LA? Dear god. I've got a friend who lives just off campus down there, just went back today. He's probably still driving.

I do. A good 30 - 60 minutes (depending on the campus) in one direction (so I gotta do it twice) every day.

Thanks Anagram!

I do, take a train/bus combo to get to and from campus.

I'm actually a couple of weeks from moving into a place much closer to campus, so it'll be a five minute ride by bus instead of the current hour and a half commute.

I take the train. It takes me about 45 minutes to get there.

I could never do these long commutes you guys are talking about. I used to live about a mile and a half away from campus, and catching the bus would be about a 20-30 minute affair, and it drove me nuts. That's not to mention the fifty dollar cost for a bus pass every semester. If I missed the bus, I could walk. It was a 50 minute walk if I hurried. Augh. If I wanted to drive, the challenge was finding a parking spot, or paying for the parking ramp. Parking sucks on a University campus, or at least this one.

parking is godawful at my school. I have to leave extra early just in case I have trouble finding a spot.

I have a 15 minute commute, but I regret not living there.

It's actually not that bad depending on the time. I planned my classes so that I would avoid the freeway before 9 and I wouldn't return home until after 6-8 pm.

It's Welcome Week over there right now, and it usually takes me about 25 minutes to get there and park assuming no major traffic. Traffic can make that into an hour to an hour and a half.
