college too far away
The closest college to me is 45 minutes away. I want to go there. There isn't housing, though (it's a 2-year school).
I think I'll end up driving there to class everyday. Is that a stupid decision, considering the cost of gas and spending over an hour driving to and from class?

It's definitely worth your money spent in gas. If you get a student loan, financial aide, or school grant, see if you can get money that will be applied towards paying your travel expense.
45 minutes isn't all that far. That's about how far I am from the nearest college, too.

The other advisors are correct, It would be more stupid not to go to collge, but here is another suggestion. Arrange your classes so that you only have to attend collge two or three days a week. What would be wasteful is to have to drive all the way there for one class. Get there early to register, as soon as registration opens, so that you get first choice for the classes you want, and on the days that you want. Work the off days, so you can earn money to help pay for the gas. This is life, we all have to deal with the high costs of energy. I do hope that the cost of fuel will go down soon, for all of us.

An hour each way? Lucky you! I have a friend who has to travel an hour and a half on the train in each direction to go to university, not to mention walking another 25 minutes from the train station to the university.
The main thing you need to consider is whether you can afford it. If you can afford it and you want to go, you should go.
If there is public transport available, you might want to take that instead so that you can use the travel time to study or just relax.
If you have any choice over your classes, try to arrange your timetable so that you don't have to go every day of the week.

If your decision is this or no college at all, then choose this. Not going to college is a stupid decision. Life is nothing but a bunch of locked doors and college gives you the keys to get inside. So do yourself a favor and go any way you can. You'll regret it later on if you decide not to.
