i live in pomona but train in glendora. its not that far but claremont, pomona, via verde, and san dimas are closer. i do not train in pomona or claremont because there in bad neighborhoods, i have deep issues with the instructors at via verde and glendora just has a great system. so i go there.

Currently I am about 10 minutes from my school. However, when I was in college I drove 2 and a half hours each way at least once a week on Friday nights I would say about half the time I would drive back and half the time I stayed the weekend so I could train on saturday too (oh wait, I mean to hang out with my parents! THAT is the reason I came home for the weekend!). The drive was long, but worth the training (3 hours at least, usually closer to 5 as my instructor wanted to really make it worth my time).
My freshman year I did the driving by myself, but after that I had a couple dedicated students (from the rec center class I taught) who also wanted to make the drive with me to train with my instructor. Once that happened we starting going most Tuesday nights as well. The training was awesome of course, and the time in the car with training buddies (that later became best friends) was also a blast- we talked martial arts the entire 5+ hours. A lot more fun than going to frat parties. :D
