| Our college student might get an internship on capital hill next semester. We live in the herndon/Reston area. Is commuting via metro a viable option ? Seems like all you hear is how unreliable it is and how often they experience delays. Will it take her forever to there and then back home in the evening ? Any tips from experienced commuters appreciated. We don’t want her to be miserable but it seems crazy to pay for housing when we live relatively close. |
| We're in the exact same situation, so I will be following your thread! |

Which metro station is closest to you and will your student be able to park at the metro? Or is this a bus to metro deal?
You can go to the ride guide on wmata.com and use their trip planner for an idea of timing. |
| Yes, it will be fine. Much better than driving! Capitol South station is right there on the Hill. |
