That said I would love to take a bus or the Ion, but when it’s a 15 minute drive from my parents house to the nearest bus stop or a 25 min drive to the nearest LRT stop and only a 35-40 min drive to the university, taking transit doesn’t make much sense. 

Alternatively I could pay $1000 a month to live in a shitty apartment next to the university but I’d rather be comfortable at home for free and pay the gas money instead.

It is a no more than a 30-minute bike ride from anywhere in Waterloo to UW. It is a thirty-minute bike ride from downtown Kitchener to UW and less than an hour from the bottom of Kitchener. If you find the GRT too slow, then get a bicycle and sell your expensive to support car.

This is such a bad take.
