<p>i live 2 hours away from school, and i'm still pondering whether i should join the tennis team, and debate team. </p>
<p>has anyone been able to balance ECs and maintain a high GPA, while living miles away? how do you do it!!!i need help with time management.</p>
<p>i live an hour 45 away by bus, but usually stuck with the train cus of ec's and get home around 8 after a 2 hour ride.</p>
<p>i didnt join tennis or debate, but i didnt because i wanted to do other things instead. those two things usually require a 4-5 day commitment per week, so I felt kind of restricted from being able to do other things. maybe you should consider that.</p>
