Sleep in your car. That's a crazy commute time.

What's your plan B if you don't want to drive that far to school?

 

[Lesa123]

No plan b!

find an apartment/dorm with roommates and grab a job on campus to pay for it. Better yet just get loans to moveout.

What is the max loan amount

 

[Corpseman]

Pretty sure there is no maximum, start with federal and finish with private... It's the true American Dream.

I commuted 60-70 minutes each way to pharmacy school, every day for the first two years of a 3-year accelerated program. At first it was a lot to manage, but I maxed out my time by recording audio of the lectures on my phone, then listening back to them on the road. Pharmacy school is a 24-hour a day job - accelerated, anyway.

For the third year it was mostly all therapeutics, which is a beast - you can't lose 3 hours of precious time every day and still study enough. By year 3 I had made enough friends to crash with people that lived by school, which is a real benefit especially before tests. Hope this helps a little.

That's my commute for my day job. If you want something bad enough you'll make time. Try looking into carpool/rideshare options.
