I am graduaitng this semester and starting at Dell on Feb 20th. However my lease on some west campus property doesnt end until August, does anyone make a similar drive, and what are you normal travel times in the morning and evening. Thanks
you're ging against traffic in the morning so it's not that bad evenings you will run into some traffic around 51st ST exit and I-35, but that's not far from campus so it's not bad of course, this is assuming no wrecks travel time in morning is about 15-20 minutes and evenings 20-25
When I worked at Dell like 8 years ago and lived near downtown, it took me an hour and half on fridays. I moved up there for a year, but that was one of the worst decisions I ever made.
One of my sons has been a line worker at Dell for about 3 years and thinks it's just fine. But then again, he has an excellent work ethic and likes overtime.
I live off of William Cannon, and used to drive to dell every day. It's 40 minutes from my place in the morning, leaving at 7:30. There's traffic northbound until about the river, so you're probably ok there. Coming home took about an hour, leaving Dell at 5:00 to 5:30, with traffic starting anywhere from 51st to as far south as the split. But there will be traffic - I recommend 51st street over to Lamar or Guadalupe. It's not terrible. I get books on CD and listen in the car - it's a good hour of study time to learn the real estate game.
I'll echo what everyone else here said: no traffic except on Fridays. Of course, I teach in Round Rock so I got off work a little earlier than you would.
Bayou, My SIL also teaches in Round Rock. I believe she is the longest tenured employee in RRISD (since 1967).
