I drive about 50 minutes each way and that would probably be the most I would drive. Sometimes it's the worst part of my day, lol.

I drove 80 miles each way and enjoyed it in an odd way. It was a couple of hours a day where I just listened to the radio, checked out the scenery and relaxed.

My commute to nursing school will be about one hour each way in work traffic and 30-40 minutes during non-peak hours. I'm actually quite zen about driving. I don't get upset with crazy drivers, and I like the time to listen to music and relax.

I drive 30min-1 hour in really bad traffic. It can be annoying because when it snows I can't get to school but they dont' always close the campus. Otherwise I actually enjoy it just listening to NPR or some good music.

I drive 50 miles one way. There's a Nursing school about 10 minutes from my house but I would have to wait until August 2008 to get in. I'm lucky I found someone in class to carpool with.

70 miles each way on mountain roads. Close to two hours each way.

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.

Luckily, my school is right up the street. On Thursdays and Fridays, I drive 30 minutes to clinicals. It's difficult for me because I have to leave the house at 5:45am. lol
