For those of you that do not want to live in Clinton, there
are several of us that commute from the surrounding locations, such as
Columbia, Greenwood and the Greenville/ Simpsonville area. I was hesitant when
I began PCSP about the thought of commuting, thinking that it would take too
much time away from studying, that I would have to wake up earlier, etc. While
these things are technically true, I have been pleasantly surprised at what the
commute has done for me. One, I have made great friends through commuting, whom
I probably would not have become friends with otherwise. Secondly, our carpool
is a great forum where we can bounce the new material that we have learned off
of each other on the way to and from school. And lastly, we have a great final
study session on the way to school on exam days- there have been many test
questions that I have been able to answer simply by working through concepts
with my carpool! Others I have talked to also make the most of their commute-
setting aside that time for phone calls, listening to class recordings in the
car, or simply taking a moment to relax and de-stress from the day. I have
grown to love my drive to and from Clinton, and I know that many others feel
the same way. So if living in Clinton is not in the cards for you, don’t worry-
commuting has its own set of benefits too!
