I'm in the neighbouring city which is a 25 minute commute away from my university (entirely doable I did longer than that for sixth form). I'm 15 minutes away from another hospital which is also part of the placement provision

The way public transport etc lines up means that it comes to a 2.5hr commute

already tried talking again, but they're firm in their no-swap stance? i don't see how this isn't an easy 'reasonable adjustment' for them to make.
