I start PA school soon and I’m gonna be commuting. The commute is 80 minutes back and forth. So 40 minutes one way. Theres also the option of taking the train if I don’t want to drive, but it’s an hour one way. The program is super rigorous and fast paced. Is this doable or should I find an apartment close by. I spoke to the head of the program about this and she said my house is located in a good area especially for rotations. She recommended I commute. My biggest concern is being too tired from driving to study. I looked at apartments in the area and they’re basically houses that rent a bedroom for 1k-3k a month. If I commute I’d be living at home. Any tips? Anyone have any experience commuting? Is it doable ? Pls feel free to share ur stories
Also the first 2 months of didactic year classes start at 1pm and end around 5pm
