I'm considering commuting to school from home - what do you think?

[noctec]

I live only 30 minutes away from school. I have lived at school for three years and I have three more to go (I am in a combined program pharmacy school 2+4 program). I don't like having someone else dictate my schedule (ie my roommate). There are lots of advantages to my particular situation including the fact that my house is near a train station that goes directly to the city where my school is located.

I could save over $25,000 over the next two years by commuting. I also feel that I might enjoy commuting more than I enjoy living at school.

However, I have my doubts. I tend to be a late riser and I like to do things at the last minute. Additionally, the roads I would travel are fairly busy.

Still, 30 minutes each way is not that bad. I am seriously considering it. What do you think?
