Commuting

Hi Tahira,

I commuted for the first year of medicine and so I can add a bit of my own personal experience here. Even though the timetable demands are not as intensive as in higher years (see Leanne's previous post), commuting even in first year can be exhausting. Not only did I feel I could better spend the 3 hours a day I drove, reading and doing work, but I also felt I missed out socially. For my first year at least, as I was constantly travelling backwards and forwards and I probably missed out on building new friendship and support networks. However, from my second year I lived nearer and soon made up for this! Hindsight is a wonderful thing and if I could do my time again I probably wouldn't commute, as first year is especially important for laying down the foundations of physiology and anatomy.

Hope this helps.

Liz

  1. Agreed that it's generally better to avoid a long commute and live closer to campus if possible. A long commute can add stress to your life and take away from study time.

  2. The internal medicine residency personal statement has key importance for the medical student because in future they have to ask about each and everything about their medical school.
