Why should an Aggie grad consider total life time instead of only commute time?

Quick answer

A five-minute office commute can save time during workdays but create much more driving for friends, restaurants, fitness, errands and weekend activities if the apartment is isolated from the life you actually want. Grant compares the time cost of work with the time cost of living. The shortest commute is not automatically the most convenient total lifestyle.
