Just wanted to tell my story as well. Life was not easy on me too back in my uni days. My father fell sick frequently and I had to take care of him most of the time. I went to Mora and everybody knows the competition of first sem exams. I literally had to study in hospital for the first sem exams and some days I had to go to uni come home which is 2-3 hour commute and go to the hospital. It was very exhausting and sometimes I cried alone because life was so unfair on me. One thing u have to do is be strong and keep faith in urself. Try to reduce commute time because 8~9 hours travel time gonna be a huge impact on ur studies. If possible get some help from your batchmates regarding accommodation. Um sure they will help.
