How long is too long of a commute? I'm thinking about living at home next year and driving about 40 min each way to school. Would save roughly 9k in expenses. Is it worth it/doable?

40 minutes is fine. Also, I find driving pretty relaxing. A 40 minute bus ride, I might re-think.

I did 45-70 minutes each way for my last two years of undergrad. It sucked cock and definitely lowered my productivity. I don't think I'd opt for it given only a 27k savings, but I did a 30 minute commute for high school too, so I'm pretty fed up on commuting. 40 minutes is definitely reasonable, just not fun.

40mins...lots of people do longer than that and do fine.

Also, there's a good chance your commute in summers or 3 yrs will be 40 mins or longer.

Can't let that dissuade you.

I will never have a 40 minute commute to work. I hate suburbs and would rather own less crap and have a nice condo near work.
