Hi Elouiza! This video was super helpful for me as I’m going through the same situation myself now where I am planning on commuting to university in September. You mentioned that you have a part time job while you are at uni. If you don’t mind, would you do a video on your tips and ads/disads of working whilst at uni??? I know I’m gonna need to get a job while I’m there but I have no idea what kind of jobs work/how many hours a week would be suitable?? That would be really helpful! Thank you Xx
Thank you for this! I'm going to uni this fall for the first time and I needed to hear this bc I rlly decided to stay at home since my uni is only 20 mins away driving and an hour a day if i take the bus
Karylle Vallente glad it’s helped you! You definitely won’t miss out on things at uni since you’re already so close. It’s really about how you make the most out of your experience x
Yes. It depends on how the commute is though lol. If it's an 45 mins or over, reconsider. You're not gonna have the "typical" college experience. However, when you're working, you're gonna abe commuting everyday. It can definitely affect you're productivity, especially with studying.
Y P well I think in any situation when you’re forced to make friends it will be hard , I don’t think it will differ to someone who lives in halls as many people are in the same position as you. I had to just go for it and sit with people in lecture halls and I joined groups on fb for people who commute and met up with them at uni. Eventually things will fall into place for you even if it takes a while..I became close to my uni friends at the beginning of second year
Thank u so much for this video! Ive been looking around for other people who commute to uni, just so i dont feel alone cuz im commuting to uni too!

Yeah, I'm really worried about making friends :(
How did it work out with your commute?
Yeah, there arent that many videos on this sadly as far as im aware

I’m so happy that I came across this video 😌 Now I’m more sure about my decision 😊
I live around 1 hour and 30 mins away by train from the uni, I don’t mind travelling for this long but will it be an issue ?
it depends on how you manage your time
How did it work out with the commute, was it tiring?
How did it work out for you?
This video was really helpful cuz I have been confused
i’m glad that it was helpful ☺️
This helped me so much thank you
Was the commuting tiring ? Would it make you less productive in any way ?
Yes. It depends on how the commute is though lol. If it's an 45 mins or over, reconsider. You're not gonna have the "typical" college experience. However, when you're working, you're gonna abe commuting everyday. It can definitely affect you're productivity, especially with studying.
So helpful!
Would I miss out on the uni experience if I commute instead of living there?
Y P you wouldn’t at all, it’s more about making sure you go that extra way to create your own experience !
ElouizaUpLifts is it easy making friends there?
