Winter driving to school

Hey everyone I got accepted into an LPN school that starts in January I live in canada so it is a two year course. The school I got into is one hour from where I live (and moving is not an option) just wondering if anyone else did this? How hard was it to drive in the winter a long distance? Any advice or experiences really! Thanks y'all have a great night

    Although I have never dealt with brutal Canadian winters, I did deal with very occasional winter driving conditions during school. In addition, I lived three hours from the school. Since I lived so far from the school, my solution was to stay in the same city as the school when wintry weather was expected to impact local road conditions.

    I am from Detroit, MI (right across the bridge from Canada...I don't know if your in Windsor) and I know at least 5 people that commute to Ohio (Toledo area) about an hour drive from Detroit. You can do it!

    My class schedule is only Mondays (3-5pm, 6-9pm), Tues/Thurs (6-8pm) and Saturday Clinicals/lab (7am-7pm) so maybe yours will not be a typical Mon-Thurs or Mon-Fri LPN program either. I really love my schedule.
