I mean yeah lol. I used to drive 80 (~128 km) miles a day to go to university. I would have been broke with European gas prices.

And yes I would have loved to have taken public transit there, but it simply didn’t exist

That’s over 1h of driving, even without traffic, each way. Are you mental?

Even with mass transit here, you don’t do that commute every day for several years - you rent a room closer to the uni, and go back home only during weekends.

Not mental just poor. Stayed at home and went to the local uni because it was affordable.

It was 1hr each way, but about 80 miles total. There was never really much traffic at least.

I drove a fuel efficient car so this was definitely cheaper than renting plus utilities. Probably costed about $60 a week in gas. $240 was not enough to get a room, rooms went for about $400. Even then I’d still have to drive from the room to campus
