Study distance?
Hey, I'm planning to apply for a university degree program soon. It's eight hours away from my home, though. Since it's very important to me to be home regularly, I wanted to ask if anyone else lives that far away from their home, and how often you manage to go home? 😊
The need to see the parents is very fast when you have taken the step of getting out.
Many students see their parents only for Christmas or for special occasions if they are actually only one, two hours driving time. Simple because the food point is at the university and at the study friends and no longer at the parents.
Sometime, you’ll have to get down. You can always go home on weekends. I taught at university and the better students were often those who lived at the place of study. They were flexible in the formation of working groups and simply had more time for studying and were not constantly sitting in the car. The weekend you need to work.
