How far away is your High School?

<p>Google Maps says:
9.7 mi – about 17 mins</p>

<p>I have to walk 20 minutes to the bus stop....
and then the bus takes about another 20 minutes,
since it has to pick up students in other stops.</p>

<p>16.2 miles, between 25 - 40 minutes, depending on how early I get out of the house.</p>

Walking takes about 45 mins wither if I'm going to school or coming back from school, but on bus or car it takes about 5-10 mins.

It should never take 45 minutes to walk 2 miles.

arnoc-if you're in a large city, it can definitely take 45 minutes.

<p>I don't really understand this. I would say that one should be able to walk two miles in less than half an hour, regardless of the setting. Pedestrians don't waste that much time at intersections.</p>

<p>I live across the street from my school. I'm on school property if I go out my driveway and cross the road. But then I have to walk through the grass to get to the door (no sidewalks). So it's about a 3 minute walk. I have driven before when I didn't feel like walking. For instance, I drove when I had to take a card table to school and there were six inches of snow on the ground. I don't care about Al Gore, but I'm not walking through the snow with a heavy table.</p>

<p>13 miles... i live in a big city so i take the subway to school.</p>

<p>it takes me 30 mins to walk to the subway station (15 blocks away) and 1 hour by subway and walking from the subway to school about 5 mins.</p>

<p>That would be so cool to take the subway to school. But it wouldn't be cool to have an hour and a half commute to school. Though, if you could get a seat, that would be a great opportunity to catch up on reading.</p>

<p>Mine is around 2 miles away, so within walking distance.</p>

<p>One of my friends for some reason has to walk to school and he's at least 4 miles away. Sometimes I drive by his house and pick him up, but I'm not supposed to, but I can hardly stand that his parents make him walk, it's stupid. He's like.. not allowed to have a bike, and he's 17 and his parents "wouldn't let" him get a learner's permit or a license or anything, and won't till he's 18. ***?!</p>

<p>Most of the people I know that live within two miles of the school drive to school. The school has actually offered bus service to me, and I live literally across the street. But rural schools are a little different, since there are no sidewalks/crosswalks/stoplights, and when the traffic is busy in the morning, walking to school can be a challenge if you're coming from two miles out of town. </p>

<p>What's nice about driving in the country, though, is that two miles takes five minutes at the most. Thus, it saves tons of time to drive.</p>

<p>At my mom's it's like 5min, so I walk home.</p>

<p>2.75 miles.</p>

<p>three or four (suburban) blocks, so its like a two minute walk</p>

<p>A hay field seperates my house and the school.. I can tell you the football game scores without attending the game. I probably live a fourth a mile because of how my house division is set up and the field.</p>

<p>Mine was 1 mile, now college is 2500.</p>

<p>a little less than a mile, but it's mostly uphill with no sidewalks, so I take the bus</p>

<p>Around two miles. It takes about ten minutes unless traffic is bad.</p>

<p>I live 20 miles.. It sorta sucks... Especially when there are sporting events.</p>

<p>7 train from Main Street to Grand Central, 42nd Street. Transfer to the 4/5 Uptown to 86th Street.</p>

<p>I would say it's a 45 minute commute from home to school.</p>

<p>2.82 miles and it takes me 10 minutes to get there.</p>

<p>about 20 - 30 min by bus and about 40 min to walk.
I usually take the bus.</p>

<p>10 miles in 20 minutes.</p>
