hey guys,
I need some advice here. anything you can say to me is appreciated. so here it is--
I live in point cook and I go to a local school. I got an offer at elizabeth Blackburn science school in parkville and I have to tell them my response by friday. it is a 90 min trip (one way) from where I live. so I would be spending 3 hrs travelling everyday..or, I could relocate to parkville altogether. and I want to pursue a career in medicine - neuroscience, to be specific and also, I'm very very very interested in handball(as you can see in my profile) - it means a lot to me. but let me list out the pros and cons of each scenario.
my options are:
- stay in point cook and travel 3 hours everyday (potentially getting tired and impacting my studies)
- shift to parkville where the rents are crazy high and not affordable. and city life is not preferred at the moment.
pros of staying in point cook
- its easier to stay in a suburb for me as well as family and my whole family doesn't have to relocate again
- no need to struggle against the high rents
- my brother doesnt have to change his school, he is currently in a good school
pros of relocating to parkville
- i can go to handball too along with studying at blackburn (its a win-win)
- blackburn is a science school, and it aligns with my interests. i dont think i even need to explain 🙂
cons of staying in point cook
- 3 hours of travel everyday, which might be a potential waste of time
- transportation costs
cons of relocating to parkville
- very very high rents
- city life is not very preferred to both me and my family
- my brother needs to change schools again. and finding a good school would be a huge problem. we would have to choose where we live based on what the local school is like.
thats all i have to say. I'm really really confused and any advice would be of great help. if you have any other options/suggestions, i would be grateful to know. thank you so much
