Can you commute from home?

My first couple of weeks were traumatic. Not because of being left there. just because of dorm life politics.

I ended up learning how to use chat rooms, this was back in the DOS days of IRL(Internet Relay Chat), a couple years before the internet, and chat rooms that we now know.

By my second year, I found myself buckling down in my studies. And Actually, by my second semester, I was leading a two-home life. I found a job, close to home. My college(it's now classified a university) was about 45 minutes away from home. And I was able to use the bus/subway/commuter rail method of commuting to and from. I doubled up certain days, on classes, and left 2-3 days, per semester, free to go home and work.

I was already, tired, of the lifestyle of dorm-living. My first couple of weeks, were that traumatic.

It worked for me, and I ended up meeting lots of commuter students. Is commuting to school, possible?

The education matters. To each their own, on their collegiate social experience.
