aih hey there, I am stuck with the same problem . but at this point, it looks like I'm gonna leave my current school and go to Elizabeth Blackburn which is a 1 1/2 hr travel one side from where I live now.
as for you, I would say weigh your pros and cons. check your family's opinion and if you going there would affect them in any way(they might have to move, or drop you off etc etc). ask yourself if going to macrob would give you an advantage? does it align with your goals? if the answer to that question is yes, and if you think it will help you, well I think you should go to macrob
good luck!

thank you, yes, that's reasonable. thanks!

Sejal that's a very practical approach, I've just been discussing all this while, and that's exactly what we planned thanks anyways!!

MMHS thank you so much for your time!

_ thank you! it really helped!

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:

1. stay in point cook and travel 3 hours everyday (potentially getting tired and impacting my studies)
2. 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

1. its easier to stay in a suburb for me as well as family and my whole family doesn't have to relocate again
2. no need to struggle against the high rents
3. my brother doesnt have to change his school, he is currently in a good school

pros of relocating to parkville

1. i can go to handball too along with studying at blackburn (its a win-win)
2. 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

1. 3 hours of travel everyday, which might be a potential waste of time
2. transportation costs

cons of relocating to parkville

1. very very high rents
2. city life is not very preferred to both me and my family
3. 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
