[quote=Anonymous]The GW program can be a pretty lonely existence. You're only taking GW classes so you're on their calendar which is entirely different than the DCPS calendar. You're only in class with GW kids and yet you're younger than the GW cohort and not living in the dorms, etc so you're not integrated into that world. My son's close friend from elementary school does it and he's pretty lonely. He's developed all sorts of hobbies because he has endless free time. Ultimately, college kids are in school for far shorter hours than high school kids. The rest of his friends (including my son who is now in private school) are in class 8-5:30 (or whatnot) due to high school classes, sports, etc and this kid has like 2 classes per day for 90 minutes each. It's not "high school with a few dual enrollment college classes." It's an entirely different experience that is completely off sync with the rest of people his age. [/quote]
