Does having accomodation away from main campus matter? (At Derby Uni)

So, not having any experience with public transit in Derby specifically, but having had similar experiences in Exeter, it's certainly feasible but a) adds another cost every month and b) can sometimes be problematic if it's late or something. Also if you don't like crowded spaces or get travel sick or whatever that can be a consideration lol.

Usually if it's within 15-20 minutes on the bus on a single route it's fine, it's if your trip is longer or if you have to say get the bus to the city centre then change to another bus to get to campus.

It's worth noting though usually from 2nd year onward you'll be living in a house/flatshare and you may have to get buses from there anyway depending where you can find accommodation relative to the main campus.

Thank you. I forgot to add but there is a free bus service from the accomodation to the campus so it isnt that bad really. Still issue of lateness and crowded spaces but :/

Oh well it being free helps lol. Yea I mean if you end up going up at 9-10am with everyone else it gets pretty hectic; if you go earlier or later you might find it more of a comfortable journey :P I imagine if it's been arranged by the uni directly, as opposed to a subsidised route run by general public transit then it's less likely to be late, but it's always a possibility (and on exam days you'd definitely want to get a much earlier one just in case...)
