you can take harbor all the way up depends on where your coming from ...you have to be more spacific then that....time of day would be nice....

ummm ya im going to be traviling ....how much is that...lol...j/k

Shes from SD, so Harbor wouldnt be a great idea. 57N is fine in the morning, 57S is fine at night. Both are screwed if there is an Angel/Mighty Duck game tho. Or if somebody is stupid and gets in an accident.

 

well for hte next 2 weeks, i got to go at 630 pm, and then starting in August, i have to be there by 9 am. Im just trying to figure out about how long it will take me to get there.

ANd isn't baseball over with now?

 
Rep Power: 351

baseball over lol no way, far from it. but ya your going to hit alot of traffic.

 
Rep Power: 350

Well depending upon your exact location, it could take 45min-2hrs. The next 2 weeks you speak of will probably be toward the longer end of time on the freeways. Mornings arent that bad . . . . but it is the orange crush you have to go thru so its a toss up.

And baseball is until the first week of October, than playoffs, which the Angels might make, which would extend it until the mid-October.

 

HOly crap!! 2 hours??!! Im in Oceanside, which is just about 70 miles from my school, according to mapquest. So i guess im just going to be fighting traffic, yay me. The good news is that when real classes actually start, i'll be getting out at 230, so maybe i can beat the worst of the traffic.

 
Rep Power: 300

why dont you find a place to live near fullerton? 70 miles is alot of traveling

 
Rep Power: 350

Up to 2 hours if traffic is really bad. Probably 45min-1hr most of the time. Also depends on how you feel like driving.

you should either move to around fullerton or find another college closer but id say just move up here

Ouch! 140 miles round trip is killer! I don't even live at home during the school year... and that's 30 miles away.

Damn, that is to much driving, get a job and find a room for rent out here, seen lots of houses in chino hills for rent for like $400 a month everything inlcuded

 

i can't move closer. I have no income, and a 1 year old daughter. My baby-sitter is out here, and im paying her half of what i would have to pay up there. Besides, with no job, and a kid, its hard to live on your own, pay for school and go to school full time. So, im mooching off my parents (free room & food) and i will commute. At least for this 1st year.

57s is worse after about 2pm.

That really will be a hard drive and you will be well burnt before year end. In the same situation, i would stay home to, but can't you apply for financial aid, get a little side job and apply as independent? and stay at family housing (idk if fullerton has that, but i know ucr does) Driving just 30 miles during the beginning of rush hour usually takes more than an hour, so the best to you. And seriously, just become friends with lots of girls, they will help take care of your little girl.

 

I already have financial aid, as much as i can get from the gov't. I have already taken out a private loan to cover what FIn. aid doesn't. Because this is a private law school, it has no housing, or anything like that. ITs not affiliated with CSU Fullerton, its just across the street from it.

I've been thinking about taking the coaster to Fullerton, but im not sure where the station is, how far away from the school it is. If its close enough to walk, (>1mile or so) then i will take that and save myself gas money and miles on my car. If not, eh. This is pretty important to me, so i will suck it up and drive.

And, when would i work? I am going to school full time, i have to watch my daughter, and it is against the "rules" to work more than 20hrs/wk if you are a full time student. That won't even cover the cost of gas! So, its just not worth it to get a job right now.

Skateboard could always be useful for transporting yourself from the station to the school. I am just wondering, what law school is this? ABA approved?

 
Rep Power: 350

The coaster drops you off on Harbor and Orangethorpe, probably a good 3-4 miles. Its like 5 minutes driving, but not so quick walking.

 

Yeah, its ABA approved. Western State University College of Law. Its actually not that expensive, tuition wise. Only 26500, or something like that a year.

Ok...so the train is out. Guess its driving for me! Good thing my parents are subsidizing everything else besides tuition, or else i would never be able to go to school!

You should have taken classes at the El Toro campus in Irvine...

As for traffic, its bad around the 8AM-10AM time going 5 North then to 57 North.

On the 57 South, Before the 91 interchange can get slow as well as the 22 and 5 interchange because of the construction.

what kinda law are you tryin to pursue? I was checkin out the morning news this mornin at around 8, the portion of the 57 going through orange county had an average speed of less than 20mph

 

I didn't know they had an El Toro Campus! I'll check into that.

Im not sure what law im going to practice.

 
Rep Power: 0

^^^The El Toro campus only offers upper division stuff though and the classes are mostly offered in the evening.

Good luck.

 

You're willing to drive 140miles a day for school! That's about 4hrs stuck in traffic, and you also need a little time to cool off before classes. I really admire your dedication Taking the train is actually not a bad idea, you can sleep or study while riding it. What about have another car (cheap one) and park it at the train depot in Fully and use that to school, on the way home, park it there, take the train to SD, and your main car is waiting in SD train depot? ?

 

Yeah right!!! Im not leaving my car at any train station!!! If i had a beater, that would be different. But i only have 1 car, and its my pretty civic.

But thats a good idea! Im gonna see if i can find a beater for really really cheap, and do that. If i can find a ride to the train station that early in the morning...........Hmm! Good Idea!
