Ok so here we go..I live in Harker Heights Tx and trying to go to nursing school (LVN). Central TX college and Temple College both have nursing programs but Central tx college is booked til end of nxt yr i believe and for Temple college they don't start until June 2017 and i don't want to wait that long:(..I really would love to attend Cybertex because it's less hassle to get in and plus their program starts again January of 2017 but the problem is that it is an hour drive away from where i live. I am not paying for my school the army pays for it. I know i am willing to sacrifice but just want to know how far some of you had to commute to nursing school or would you guys make that sacrifice.? i was also thinking of getting a part time job down there or something. Anyways the army pays for my school and books and they also pay me 1,100 a month for stipend...Would you guys make the commute or do you guys think i have to settle for temple or CTC??? i just need your honest inputs pls and thank you very much😚😚
no i did not but i saw on the news now that Vista College just opened up their LVN program in killeen and I don't think i want to attend that school. I know it is pricey but my Post 911 Gi bill will pay for my school. I don't know how i feel about going there i gave it some thought though..
You get used to the commute. I take the time to listen to lecture videos that might have to do with what we're learning. For example, my school will give us topics we need to review before lab and I review/listen them on my commute.
Most people who live in big cities such as Los Angeles and New York in sure that is a typical commute time to work.

Why didn't you apply for UMHB Spring 2017? I commute from the clear creek gate there and it's about a 30 minute drive one way. If you're desperate, I guess you'd just suck it up and do what you have to, but there are other options out there.
I wanted to add that I use the GI Bill to attend school, but I see you are doing LVN. I'd definitely just suck it up.
