@sonic23 I was in your situation 2 years ago. I tried commuting (20 miles away) but it was hell. I only lasted 1 semester…Im not saying its not doable but I cant read while people are driving so studying on the commute was not a option for me. Plus the Math Dept at UCLA is no joke… Family housing in UCLA is nice (but expensive), however its still 5 miles away…

Those 24 miles translate to 1.5-2.5 hrs of commute each way. So you are looking at 2-4 hours each day looking at traffic. As the great Sweet Brown say “aint nobody go time for that”. You can always try to commuting that 1st semester to see how it feels like. If you are commuting, the best suggestion I can make is to find people that also commute to your same city… it will feel better than taking the Vanpool.
