    Travelling decison or move closer to uni
    I'm currently studying at Kingston uni,but i live in SE part of London,which takes me about 2 hours to commute to studies and after which i have to commute to work,which will also take an hour plus.Ive just received my timetable for the year and i will be at uni 5 times a week more than i anticipated.
    My question is, do i move some to a place between uni and work or do i live at home and make the all round trip almost every day of the week.And i have two 9am lectures in the week and mid day lectures.
    Please help,i have til the end of this month to make a decision.Thanks

    I'd move. That sounds exhausting, and if you hate the 9am lectures you'll find it SO hard to motivate yourself to get up :P I can imagine it won't cost much more to move with all your travel expenses.

    If I were you, I would definitely move out. I can guarantee that if you stay at home, you won't attend half of those 9am lectures. All that 'dead' travelling time will get boring, and it will waste time that you could be spending studying or socialising.
