To commute or not commute


Recommended Posts

I am thrilled to be starting PA school this summer. From what I understand, most of the clinical sites are based an hour plus away from campus (not considering the horrific traffic). A lot of students move after the didactic year to be closer. I have kids that are in Elementary school and I really don't want to have to move twice. So - would you recommend that I either stay close to campus and then deal with commuting or short term housing options once I reach rotations? Or should I find a place somewhere between and commute both years?? Right now I lean towards being close to campus and dealing with rotations as they come.

I'm not sure that's something someone on a board can answer for you...

 

Obviously, it is dependent on your personal situation. Depends if you're willing to sacrifice a year of you life, and you children and husbands, to make a solid future for all of you. I'm not a student so I can't give you first hand experience, however, I would make that sacrifice if it meant providing financial security for my family in the long run. That's just me though, I don't what your situation is like.
