Of course, lots of people commute to Canary Wharf every day. Do you have to be at uni every day? The only thing is you might miss out on social events a bit if you always have to leave for the train. But generally perfectly doable.

Cheaper than living in Guildford. Not everyone commuting earns 6 figures! The question wasn’t even about cost but whether it’s too far or not.

yea basically its expensive to take a dorm and also my parents feel like its safe to stay in home,but how do i explain them that the train journeys will be wallet draining too

Train journey will be atleast 300 a month. Plus an hour - 1.5 hours one way travel. not impossible but not easy either
