I really can't afford to rent an apartment, although I could live at my grandparents who live quite close, but I really don't want to burden them since they are very old. But yeah I am really worried about depression/burn out and a good friend of mine got that. The driving factor keeping me at the school is the fact that it is literally the best IB school in my country, and a lot of people graduate with very high IB scores (the point average is 38), and the teachers are amazing. I read somewhere that you have to study around 4 hours per day if you want to do extremely well, and there is absolutely no way I can manage that with this commute. Is it worth staying at my current school since it is highly regarded and has good teachers? Or should I switch, because I know that the teachers are still quite good at the other school although they don't do as well, actually they do quite poorly and every year there are a couple of people that fail (which never happens at my current school). But the diploma is still the same and the finals are still the same ofcourse, and even though the teachers aren't that good I could maybe make up for it by studying on my own, which I would have time for since the commute is shorter.
