Depends on how much contact you and your supervisor plan on having and how many of the resources you need that would be on campus. It's a bit of a trek if you had to do it every day.

i know of a few people living in belfast and commuting to dublin a few times a week because of the high cost of living down there. if you only need to be up a few times a week it is not a problem.
