[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 208582, member: 2672"] A four hour commute each day is quite long - I don't think many firms would be expecting someone to commute for that long unless they were happy to do so (some people will because they just want to stay home). I'd say 90 minutes or less is reasonable but anything beyond this (and calculated door to door) is worthwhile having a conversation with Graduate Recruitment about. The worst that they will say is no - but that is not going to impact how they see you as a candidate. You can always contact them in a more inquisitive way asking what factors they take into account when offering accommodation or other travel support. For some firms. this may be means tested, for others it maybe either calculated on a cost basis or a time basis. By asking what support they would give you (and outlining your circumstances), rather than just asking straight out for accomodation, the firm will come back to you with the appropriate support they would be happy to give you.
