Hi all! I was asking around a few weeks ago for bike suggestions for commuting around my college campus, I got suggestions to keep an eye on FB marketplace. This bike caught my eye and I wanted to know if it would be decent for short distance commutes and if it would be able to
handle some hills (I go to TXST so there's a couple of hills I would need to go up and down).

That is a sick bike. Dutch style bikes are hard to find in the states and they have so much utility. Perfect for commuting. It’s got gears so I imagine you’ll be fine on some hills. Easy buy at that price.
If it fits well it could be a good bike. Remember to get a decent U lock and learn the best way to use it if you’re commuting to a campus. It doesn’t have the widest gear range, mostly it’s for fairly flat city riding but could handle some gentle slopes if you take it easy. In theory you could change the gearing but that might be a bit more investment than you’re looking for.
