It's funny that you mention this in a thread dealing with freedom of mobility. Nothing like legislating where people can live if they want to have the opportunity to improve their lives. People who attend community college are typically the sort who can't afford to just leave where they are.

Six miles is nothing, dude. I walk that on a regular basis. Try living thirty miles from the nearest community college, like my family does.

Taking into account the average human walking speed of 3 mph.. this means you must donate four hours to walking.
you must have a lot of time on your hands.

...and back again? You did remember that that's 12 miles in total?

Ah, I see. I've actually got a longer stride, so it would be more like 3 hours for me. But you're right, I was only factoring in one way travel.
