How long does it take you to get to school/uni [poll]

Well, i was reading the how much sleep you get thread and i realised, some people take a while to get to school.

So, i was interested how long everyone else takes to get to school/uni, for me personally its about 30 minutes, one way. (bus)

I guess you can factor in how long you take to get ready in the morning for how early you wake up but unless you spend heaps of time or go to school naked (damn judge..) i dont think it would vary that much.  I think travel is the big one that determines the time.

Maybe, also say the way you travel. (eg. bus, car, private jet)

About half an hour, more or less depending on the traffic at the time.

To Melbourne Uni during peak hour:

1.  Bus (30-35 minutes)
2.  Tram (10 minutes)

Or I've done it in 30 minutes before with an aggressive bus driver, which was pretty awesome.  All in all, for the next few years, I'm going to be very best friends with bus lanes.  :)

Other than that, it does suck living in a LGA with no trains or trams.  :(

Car - 2 to 4 minutes
I normally walk home which takes 20-25 minutes because I can't wake up early enough in the morning.

That's by car! But yeah my parents chose my school because it was so close (it's also right behind my primary school so I've always had the luxury of sleeping in).

Sort of irrelevant; they recently found a dead body really close to my school, it's on a street which I've walked past for years.

or

Option Two: 1~2 hours by car (oh, the joys of peak-hour traffic).
