You have to decide whether you want to travel 5 hours round-trip every Saturday, as well as how long classes are and when you would have to leave (i.e., if classes are 9-5 on Saturdays, you’d have to wake up at 5:30 and leave at 6:30 in the morning and wouldn’t get home until 7:30 at night, every Saturday).
