Yes. Barring some kind of atypical circumstance (like you're married with children and own your home and thus can't move) this seems like a terrible idea.Maplesyrup wrote:Would i be crazy to drive an hour and a half one way to school each day?
Edited to add: Law school is graded on a curve. That's three extra hours come finals time that your classmates have to study and you don't.

About that study time... if you aggregate that time, you are losing 150ish hours each semester to commuting that you could have used to study instead.emkay625 wrote:Yes.

That being said, I still wouldnt want to commute that long, but if its a possibility, I am sure there are valid reasons for it.

Re: What is your maximum commute?
It would be crazy to have your wife give up income for you to go to law school imo. Crazier than a long commute. But be realistic and not optimistic about the time, and, again, factor in parking too (don't be the guy who is always late because "couldn't find parking!" i.e. didn't factor in extra time for parking).Maplesyrup wrote:thanks for the replies everyone. it looks like if i wake up super early and beat traffic then i could cut it down to 1 hr, the intent is to keep from uprooting my wife from her job. i'll weigh the pros and cons carefully, i was worried mostly about the lost time, on the other hand i don't really mind driving, it sort of relaxes me.

While I'm inclined to agree with you there, peer tendencies are outside the scope of OP's control.
