Living downtown x further away
Hey!
So, I'm moving to York for my Master's degree that starts in September. The university is right downtown, the few rentals available that aren't minuscule are 1,150 or more. I'm 40 and have a dog, and honestly I don't want to live like a student in their 20s anymore. I like walking, cycling, but how bad is the weather if I need to ride a bike or e-bike for 10, 15 min, every day? Or if I'll work at a hotel at night? I found some great places, a lot cheaper, available around 15 to 20min driving (I'd be saving money even though insurance is high), but then leaving the car where...? Or is there a bus or train from those villages around York?
I honestly dont know what to choose... I need advice from people living there.
