how far is to far?
Hi, as I have said before I have an interview for edge hill uni. I live 40 mins drive away from the uni and god knows how far my plcaement will be. I have a partner and a young family and I was wondering if any of you have to do a large amout of traveling to get to uni and placement. I really don't mind traveling but is really possible to travel, study, go on placement and manage my family. I would never take on something that I thought was impossible. ohhhh i'm in such a dilemer over this.
I understand everyone is expected to travel some distance but is this one going to be to far. to be honest edge hill was my back up plan and now its my only option any adivce girls I would really appreciate it . xxx  (me on me way to uni ha ha ha)

Re: how far is to far?
Hi
My average journey time is an hour each way, but can be up to two hours if the traffic is bad or as little as 45 mins when I am on an early, 7.15 am start. At least I am on public transport so I can read or make notes about what I need to do while I am on the bus or tube, so the time doesn't feel completely wasted. Busy

Re: how far is to far?
i t takes me about 50mins to get to uni and about 1hr to get to placement, but if traffic is good it can be quicker, I do know a few girls at my uni are travelling well over an hour to get there though. xxxx
