I drive about 15 miles, but in city traffic so it's 25-45 minutes. Figure in parking and walking to class, and I leave almost an hour before class. Getting home is shorter, as long as I time it around rush hour. I'm not sure I could spend any longer in the car than I already have to - I absolutely HATE driving, traffic, and the waste of my time that it takes. Outside of travel back and forth to work (if I'm working), school, and clinical, I put about 10 miles a week on my car.
I commuted about 110 miles round-trip to my nursing program/clinical sites. It would generally take 45-60 minutes to get to school/home (all freeway with virtually no major traffic issues). I don't think I would have commuted much more than that - it was NOT fun, especially after a particularly late study session or a hard day at clinical.
I drive a whopping 16 miles to work now, and it's the BOMB!
Hey Commuters!
Here's what I do on my 70 mile ride to school....(when i'm not playing with the radio)
I take my digital recorder, burn my lectures (or just recordings of myself reciting notes) to CD and then study while I drive!
Helps me learn because I need to hear things a few times before they sink in.
I drive about an hour each way, not including parking and walking to class. It's longer if there is construction, traffic, or bad weather. It can be 2 hours or more if it is snowing or icy. I have several options as far as school, but all are an hour or more away, so I accepted that before I even took my first prerequisite. I usually listen to music and relax, but lately have started listening to recorded lecture on my drive.
