Is 5 miles (8 km) too far of a distance? 10 points!?

Depends on your speed. I average somewhere close to 20 min to walk a mile and a half to school. Probably an hour 15? Try it a couple times before you decide that you want to walk that far. Check your schools website or with the office and see if a bus goes by your house. It's a little more time restraining but can be worth it
