1 hour commute

Depends on whether your priority is to reduce student dept or to have a "uni experience"

Precisely this

Perhaps live in uni accommodation in the first year and then, if you don’t want to flat share second, consider commuting?

Honestly I don't really want the uni experience, doesn't look appealing and want to go just for education. Do you think an hour commute is bearable for such a demanding degree?

Would you say it's probably more time consuming if I was to live independently? For example I would have to do my own shopping, cooking, washing etc however if I was to stay at home it will basically all be done therefore more time to study but longer commute time.

I commuted an hour for all of my degrees, it's not as bad as it sounds.

What degrees did you do?

Hi,

So basically I am going Keele for Medicine this September as I have a unconditional offer and have firmed it. However, I live in Manchester, and I am torn between living in halls or commuting. Google maps says the commute is 52 minutes to an hour. Personally I feel as though i can do it and have seen many people commute the same/longer for college. Just want some thoughts about it.

thinking of commuting myself from near manchester to lancaster up north, about 40-50 mins seems pretty do able. i also would prefer to stay home away from the "uni life"

Manchester to Lancaster can be done via the train. My daughter goes that way when she commutes from Nottingham to Lancaster and goes via Manchester piccadilly. Just be mindful during exam season it might be a good idea to get an air b and b locally (theres a few in the city) just so you are close to the uni during that time. Also just be mindful of the strikes, although they do have lecture capture there so you dont miss out.

Yeah same, and tbh the "uni life" seems quite haram imo. Like the clubbing and all that stuff, I feel like staying at home will allow me to be on the right path.
