Some people get the chance to live at University. But if you are one of those people who has to travel to and from University, then you can definitely agree that it is such a pain. These are the 10 struggles all rural students face traveling to University!<\/p>\n
You know that lovely public transportation that city slickers can fall back on? That service finishes way before any rural student can think about catching it.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re a rural student, not as many people actually head to the city to study past Year 12. Those who do can\u2019t rely on carpooling. Why? Because Adelaide has three separate universities, all with multiple campuses \u2013 so there\u2019s that. You also have to take into account all the different degrees and all the different class times.<\/p>\n
This one goes out to all the students who have to drive to uni by yourself. Driving = not studying, not working, and not reading. All the time it takes you to get to class makes you lose out on time to do other things. Driving is a pain.<\/p>\n
Petrol prices constantly fluctuate and seem to always<\/em>\u00a0be expensive. To afford petrol you need money which usually comes from having a job. Good-bye to any free time you had outside of class and commuting.<\/p>\n Working is almost a nightmare. It\u2019s a nice getaway from studying, and sometimes it gets your mind off of stressing, but usually\u00a0it\u2019s just a pain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That spur of the moment catch-up your uni mates have invited you to will be over before you even get halfway there. But when you\u2019re close by, everyone is busy. Cancelled plans are always fun, especially when you drive through a valley and a mountain range before they cancel.<\/p>\n Pub crawls are something you can never do. It\u2019s an expensive catch-up, because you can\u2019t drink and drive, and hotels cost money. It costs one thing for your friends, and then it costs so much more for you.<\/p>\n I have to say about three town names before someone nods and has some kind of idea where I live.\u201cThat\u2019s so far,\u201d and \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just move?\u201d and \u201cHow long does that take?\u201d are all common phrases I hear.<\/p>\n You honestly run out of time for everything. Uni comes first because it\u2019s so expensive. Work comes second because you need the money. Then comes everything else. But you usually choose to sleep because you’re exhausted from work and Uni. Oh, life.<\/em><\/p>\n You feel like you\u2019re living like Hannah Montana because you have the best of both worlds. You have this double life and double the friends when it comes to the end of the semester.<\/p>\n Featured Image: weheartit<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some people get the chance to live at University.
