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
