Loreto sixth form college transport — help!!

Hi! I got accepted to Loreto. But the thing that TERRIFIES ME about the college is the buses!! Both times I’ve visited the college, they were so packed and it was downright horrifying as someone who has social anxiety + hates physical contact 😭. Is there a way to escape them? Even the bus stop further away from the school was still so busy 🥲.

Also, the commute for me takes about 45 minutes. I’m wondering whether it’s worth it, considering I’ve also been accepted to another (grammar) school which is much closer. I’m worried about coming home with no energy for studying :frown:

. Can anyone give any advice?

what grammar school?

Same I’ve been accepted as well and need to take two buses to get to loreto if I am going which I’m not sure at the moment.
I’ve asked my friend who is in year 13 and the buses are not to bad going to school however when it’s 4 pm the buses would be packed and sometimes she has to wait for the next bus so packed buses are going to be inevitable. 😭😭😭Apparently year 12 are allowed to leave 10 minutes before but I’m not sure how true that is.

Loreto buses are absolutely HELLISH. Honestly, loreto isnt special enough to put yourself through it, a 45 min commute might not seem like a lot , but 90 mins travelling everyday is going to add up
