Is it worth commuting 1.5 hours door-to-door, max (3 hours total, back and forth) during residency in order to save money? Cheap apartments that are reasonably near the hospital are an outrageous $1600-$2000/month.
If I live with family:
- 100% everything is paid for/meals provided. NO RENT. My student debt is $300,000+
- Transport will be via train ride, so I can probably read something for a good 30 mins while I travel or zone out
- Most of my days are around 8 AM - 5 PM so I think this might be feasible? Call days are longer.
- The actual commute is 50 mins, but I have a habit of leaving early on public transport
I would appreciate any input. Thank you all.
