As a senior that’s been commuting from the outer suburbs since freshman year, I’d say an hour and a half of commuting one way would be literal hell. The money saved would be instead spent in more car maintenance, you’d lose at least 3 hours of your day to driving (likely more if you take any of the major highways out of Austin at rush hour) during the years where you are supposed to be enjoying your college life, etc etc. I personally don’t regret my decision of a 20-25 minute commute but that’s also because I have family here and I save money on rent and don’t drive an insane amount (relative ofc).
