If money is tight, as you say it is, is it really worth spending $300+ (because it will be +) to cover that distance a day, or are you envisioning some other cycling activities ?
Oh, and will you have somewhere secure to keep the bike once you get to work, (because folders are, for sure, thief magnets) ?
Besides for riding back and forth to my car, I'd also use it to get lunch, and to get to class and back (part of the reason I took a job at a University was for the free clases).
I plan on taking it into my office and storing it next to my desk, but there are also bike racks everywhere on campus where I could lock it up.
