My commute is an hour and fifteen to hour and a half each way 3 days a week. There is another college right in town, but they refused my application because they say they “don’t accept applications from non-traditional students (older) unless they get 30 credits somewhere else first”!!! Now I have 30 credits at this distant school that accepted me, and I have no intention to transfer to a school that has discriminatory policies.

Does your school not allow you to cluster all your classes either M,W,F or T,Th? If you can, I recommend it next semester. It makes for a long day, but it’s worth it. Second, see if there is an online course you can take to shorten your day some. In the meantime, I can tell you from experience it’s not a picnic but it’s tolerable having a long commute. You get used to it.
