How far is too far to walk from the station to campus every day?
What feels too far for a daily walk depends on your fitness, class start times, luggage, route, and weather. Consider the time and fatigue of both the one-way trip and the round trip, including on rainy or hot days, and decide whether you can sustain it alongside classes and extracurricular activities. If possible, walk the route yourself and check alternative transport for difficult weather.
Key points
- Consider round-trip time and fatigue, not only the one-way walk.
- Hills, traffic lights, luggage, heat, and rain can change the burden.
- Decide whether the commute is sustainable alongside classes and extracurricular activities.
Things to check
- A suitable walking time varies by individual fitness, travel frequency, and the actual route.
