The friend in question had to spend more than an hour a day carpooling to get to and from campus. (I don’t think there were any buses from where he lived). This meant tons of waiting around for rides because college schedules are sparsely scattered throughout the day. This also meant going to office hours was a pain, and he couldn’t (like I, and most other engineering students I knew could) get into labs in the middle of the night to finish assignments that frequently took longer than expected.
That said, this probably isn’t nearly as big a mistake in most people’s cases, and I’m updating my original post to reflect that.
