Just over 500 miles. More or less the length of the UK, since I'm from Sussex and my uni is in Scotland :smile:

My uni is on the other side of my hometown (uni is in south east London, home is in west London) but with how the tube/trains and traffic goes it takes about two hours to get to my halls.

London to Hull - 200 miles. 4ish hours driving and 3 hours. The journey from Hull to London takes 2.5 but then I have to get the overground line.

last semester I went home 2 times exluding christmas... same with this semester though. I get free travel though so I can go home whenever.

'Home' is the West of Ireland and I came to Edinburgh for uni. I used to have to get a flight to Dublin and then have a 3 hour drive down but now there's a flight to an airport 20 minutes from home :smile:

I used to go home about 3 times a year I think and Mum and Dad would come over once or twice. I probably could have gone home more but tbh I didn't like home that much so...

Living in Sherborne, Dorset, but next year I'll be away at Winchester which is about 75-80 miles-ish?

About 30 miles.
Half an hours drive if I speed and there's no traffic.
An hours drive if there's a bit of traffic.

I don't live at home though, I live at uni.

About 500 miles, from Winchester to St Andrews. It takes anywhere between 7-10 hours on the train depending on changes and I can get train tickets for about £30 with a railcard if I book early enough :smile:

I generally only go home for the holidays but I speak to my mum every few days, so it's not too bad! Also I've met people here from Brasil, Hong Kong, all over the place so I can't really complain about coming from the other side of the country! :smile:

I'm about 180 miles away and it's usually a 4 hour car journey as a lot of the roads are single carriage A-roads as opposed to the motorway. I live at the tip of the Cumbrian peninsula and go to uni in Edinburgh. If I take the train to Kendal it takes two hours and then there's another 1 hour car journey after that. Or I can go all the way down to Lancaster and then back up the Barrow line which adds another 1 hour 20 minutes to the train time not including changeover :smile:

. It's not too bad. My parents can drive there and back in one day or get the train for a day trip and it's a lovely journey to do so it doesn't feel like four hours.

About 3-4 hours by car, and similar with a combination of trains and buses. Last term I didn't go home until the Christmas holidays. This term I went home once for the weekend, and I'll go back at Easter.
