How long does it take for you to commute?
I run from home to work for about 30min almost everyday. It's good.
My wife goes to her work by bicycle for approximately 10min. It's good, too.
My daughter goes to school by train and bicycle from the nearest station to her school for about 45min in total. Yes. Not too bad.
My son goes to his university via approximately one and a half hour train trip. One and a half hour to go! Three hours in trains per a day, everyday! I can't say it is not too bad.
We are planning to let him live alone in an apartment near his university or in a dormitory in the near future.
Regarding the time, if he lives alone, he must do housework by himself. Cleaning the room, doing the dishes, washing clothes, preparing a bath, and so on. It takes time, but less than 3 hours a day, I hope so. He will learn a lot from experience. For not wasting his time, or not losing kinds of opportunities, we'd better to let him live alone probably.
But, is that true? Is it absolutely better to live alone? No, I have another idea. If he remains home, he can concentrate on his study without any houseworks bothering him. It would be better at one point of view.
It is a difficult problem for us which would be better, he commutes from home, or he lives alone. Some time is needed to decide which and when we do.

How long is your commute?
How long is your commute?
I run to work which takes about 30 minutes almost every day.
My wife rides her bicycle to work which takes approximately 10 minutes.
My daughter takes the train and then bikes to her school from the station which takes about 45 minutes.
My son goes to a university which takes approximately an hour and a half by train.
An hour and a half!
Three hours in a train per day, every day!
I can't say "not too bad" to that.
We would like him to live alone in an apartment near his university or in a dormitory in the near future.
If he lives alone, he must do his own housework.
It takes time, but hope it takes less than 3 hours a day!
He will learn a lot from this experience.
For not wasting his time, or not losing kinds of opportunities, we'd better to let him live alone probably. It's better for him to live alone because it will save him time and he will have more opportunities.
If he remains home, he can concentrate on his studies without worrying about housework.
It would be better from one point of view.
This is a difficult problem for us. Should he commute or live alone?
We need time to decide what we will do.
I commute to school about 15 minutes walking and then 30 minutes by public transport. After school I'd like to attend an university in Prague and in that case I'll definetely live in dormitory.
It's great when my husband picks me up to the metro station in the morning and takes back in the evening.
It is a difficult problem for us to decide which would be better; whether he commutes from home, or whether he lives alone.
About a quarter century ago, I myself lived alone in an apartment in my university days. It took about 30 minutes from my first apartment to my university. More than an hour from my second apartment to there. And about 10 minute on foot from my last apartment to my graduate school. It was very much worth for me to learn many things from the independent life. On the other hand, I had to share my time to doing my own houseworks and had less time to study or play something than guys who live with their family.
My son also can't ever deciding what to do. He is wondering now. We will make good decision in the near future.
