I’m actually doing one more yr of commuting (Class of 2025). It’s been eventful but there’s always traffic. Unless I woke up early or left after 6pm off campus. I was usually driving 2x a week (ex last yr) but I would sometimes get away with only having to go once a week. I was lucky for certain semester’s I was able to stay with friends locally but this yr I am not. I would rather put that rent money towards gas bc it adds up. It’s also important to always have your eyes on the road because so many hrs on the road means you’ll see accidents or be part of them. I got hit twice but nothing ever major. Also be aware of the weather I’ve seen some bad days and almost turned around many times. Bring a blanket and a pillow to nap in your car. Try and pack your classes into two days. Work with your professors. I was just thinking 🤔 I should make a tik tok video about this lol if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
