It takes me around 1.5hrs to get to school. There seems to be an increasing trend of ppl taking 1-2hrs (well, I seem to be meeting alot of ppl that have to). I'm pretty use to it now, after 5/6 years, and I'll probably be adding another 15 mins to that when I get into uni. When I think about it though, it seems totally ridiculous to be going that far when I can just catch a 10 minute bus to my local high school.

So, what would be your limit to how far you have to travel daily?

Anything over an hour to me is pretty unreasonable for a high school. For uni though, I would say its reasonable for 1-1.5 hours by train.

The mark of a winner - prepared to sacrifice an extra hour of sleep to spend 5hrs a day with a school mostly filled with other similarly sleep-deprived people. ;)

My mum works next door to my school, so depending on the traffic, the amount of time it takes to get to school varies from about 4 - 10 minutes, and about the same back :)
