Just wanted to post to ask for advice for an upcoming vac scheme. I do not live in London and the commute to the office in question is roughly 2 hours each way (so a total of 4 hours every day). The firm has on their website that support for travel/accommodation is to be discussed with grad rec and is looked at on a case-by-case. I am a bit nervous about emailing and am unsure of how to ask for support.
Ideally, I would love to ask for help with accommodation, but I’m nervous that they will look down on that considering the fact that I can technically commute (as in I don’t live on the other side of the country or anything like that). If so, I’m also a bit nervous they might see a request for help with travel costs as silly if they view the money paid during the scheme as what should be covering those costs anyway (even though the costs will add up to almost 200 pounds a week).
Should I send an email and ask this anyway or will it make me seem an undesirable candidate or one simply asking too much?
