#I hate job hunting because jobs always sound glamorous/exciting and then they aren't

The uni I work for has a satellite campus (half of a building) about 12 mins from my home by car but I almost always work on the main campus these days, so it takes me 50 minutes each way.
The job listing I'm looking at says that the company is based in the same street as my uni's satellite campus (I'm almost certain it's in the same building) but their LinkedIn page says that their office is on the same road as the main campus.
If their Indeed listing was wrong and they are actually near the main campus, there'd be no point applying, because I'd still have to drive for 48 minutes and that's why I'm job hunting.
It's a building I've walked past loads of times to go to Waitrose (but unfortunately, it's the building next to the pretty, glass one with people in sexy suits that makes me go 'I wish I worked there' lmao).
If I made it to the interview stage, I could walk to the office near my work in 15 minutes during my lunch break, or work out of the satellite campus for a day and walk to the office in 3 minutes or less. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but it's funny that their locations are both so close to my current organisation's two locations. I don't think my current boss would find it as funny, though.
I've emailed them for clarification. And asked them the other deal breaker questions to potentially save us both time.
