For most of our childhoods, the school bus was a dreaded sight. It meant you were about to be whisked off to your least favorite place in the world at the crack of dawn, where you'd be forced to stay for the next eight hours. You might even get bullied by the older kids on the way, and if you were like me, you'd get deathly motion sick. But one group of people doesn't see school buses that way, at least now that they're older. 

Selling your home, buying an RV, and traveling across the country have become more and more popular in the age of skyrocketing rent and housing prices. It forces you to live a more simple life; appreciating what you have, seeing the world, and living by your wits. But while RVs are pre-made homes on wheels, the people on r/skoolies like to do things themselves. 

It makes sense, school buses are longer than most RVs, cheaper too, and if you have the skills to build an interior yourself, why not make the most of it? Repurposed school buses are becoming a more and more popular option for those who want to go off the grid, and here are some of the coolest examples we could find. Here are 34 modded buses that have been taken to school.
