Thanks for replying! =0)
yeh, the commute may suck, but living at
home is much cheaper =) and they can still
spoil me lol
I say go for it if you can afford the gas.
My friend heather drives 1 hour every day
to get to where we go to college. And she
hates it. My drive is like 15 minutes and
so that isn't bad. Gas is what kills a
person.

If it's a good school for what you want to
do than go for it. Keep in mind though
that you may have to drive there for more
than a few days a week and sometimes it
sucks if your classes are'nt close
together. Like if you have a class at
9:00 in the morning and your next one is
at 3:00 in the afternoon. What if you
have to take a night class? That would
suck. People can do it though. I think
it would be hard though. I only drive 30
minutes to school, but that seems like
forever in itself.

I think an hour and 40 minutes is way to
far to drive! What happens if you have an
8:00 class? And you also have to think
about traffic! I only have to drive about
15 minutes and thats too much for me!

Maybe you can make some friends that live
down by the school. And if you have an
early class one or two days stay with
them. My mom drove and hour and half to
school and the days she had early classes
she stayed with her friend.

Yeah I was thinking that too. Maybe even
find some good friends that you can move
in a house or apartment where you only pay
like 100 bucks a month or something a
piece.
