How far? How often? Are you a non-traditional student? Do you drive? If you drive what do you do witih your time while you commute? Do you share the ride? I commute and I am a non-traditional student just wondering what it is like for you?

I commute, about 25 miles or so. I'm now considered "non trad" just because I work almost full time and am 25. During my drive, I listen to music, talk on the phone, or listen to NPR. I don't share the ride, except once in a great while. Sometimes it kind of sucks having a lot of free time between meetings, class, whatever, but I make sure to bring my ipod & homework or other things that need accomplished to fill up the free time.

I commute. It's about a 20 minute drive. I planned all my schooling on two days during the week. And, I put them with 15 minutes between finish and start time so I could walk in between classes, but not have to worry about what to do with my time. That way, I save gas and I'm not bored. At lunch time I have an hour and a half break, so I go to a restaurant, like Olive Garden and pass the time by ordering, eating, and working on a little homework. I don't ride with anyone nor does anyone ride with me. And, I usually jam out to music in the morning on the way.... hip-hop or techno or funky music ("tequila" and "tootsie roll").

I am a non traditional student and I have to commute to school. It sucks. I have 2 kids and a full time job in addition to full time school, and it is crazy. I would love to sugar coat it, but I have a 1 hour commute to work and with school smashed in there, it's hard. But it's worth it, and it's totally possible. I listen to music and suffer from mild road rage to pass the time. I round-trip 50 miles a day, city traffic. My best advice is to see if your school offers online classes and take as many of them as possible!! :)

I used to commute to college.. I hated it. Could never find parking and paying for parking all day just sucked. I drove like 15 minutes my junior and Senior year. Never shared a ride because I had to work right after classes.

in case you have a 4 hour hollow between classes, it seems such as you're waiting to take a evening type. My female pal and that i are in actuality doing an analogous factor, the place we can wait from 12:30-one million:fifty 5 to six:30-7:30 for our classes to start. The shyness is something you will over come over the years. The extra you consult from human beings in classes, lunch line, parking zone on occasion, your self belief will advance. As what to do with the wait, examine around for what homes are open close on your type. The library, cafeteria, a den, learn rooms, club rooms, the place ever you sense comfortable waiting in and strolling from. you're able to even get a wager to fulfill somebody in an analogous subject and get a clean pal. have exciting and be risk-free. human beings say intense college is whilst the 4 superb years of your life ensue, yet college is the place you get extra freedom and adventure. stable success, be risk-free.
