How far would you commute?

I recently got accepted into the university of Mary Hardin Baylor in Belton, tx. I currently live in fort hood since my husband is military but we will be moving to round rock, tx since he will be recruiting in Austin. I have tried looking for apartments in Georgetown but none are available for the size and time frame that we need them for. I found this one complex that I love and it's about a 45 min drive to Belton going and coming on I-35. Since i am starting my first semester in August we are only scheduled to go to class two days a week. I'm sure once further into the program the days may be 3 a week plus a clinical. Does 45 miles seem realistic to drive? I think of it as if I sacrifice 2.5 years of my life, it will be worth it in the end and the plus side is it is a BSN.

I commute 45-50 minutes 4-5 days per week for nursing school. It is a bummer to think of the wasted study hours but some people make use by listening to recorded lectures. I personally use my commuting time to chill out and solve all the world's problems on my own lol!

I drove anywhere from 45 min to an hour and a half during most of my program. I was glad my last semester I had clinical only 25 min away. I see a lot of people on here talk about their commute so I think it's doable if necessary.
