Many Texas State students are familiar with the perils of commuting. Leocadia O'Brien tells us in this Bobcat Update what it means for those who choose to live away from campus.

With the constant back and forth, commuters have to deal with potential obstacles -- occasional traffic jams, high gas prices and overcrowded buses. Getting to class on time can be a big hassle for anyone who chooses to live out of town.

Commuting by bus from Austin or San Antonio can cost up to nine dollars per round trip, which is on top of the almost 80-dollar bus fee that students pay at registration. Driving isn't much easier. Parking spots are scarce and then there's the construction on campus.

However, a little bit of travel is worth it to these Texas State students who make the sacrifice to live in a city they call home.

Commuters hope these issues will be resolved soon, but until then they'll just have to make due.  For Bobcat Update, I'm Leocadia O'Brien.
