[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the post OP. This was helpful to read. As much as I like LAMB, I've been going back and forth as to whether I could reasonably handle that commute in a few years. I to the new campus, it looks like it'd be just about a 30 min drive or an hour commute on the train and bus which is my preferred mode of transportation. [/quote]

Are you saying 30 minute commute by car or 1 hour by public transportation one way to LAMB??  If so, no way in hell is that going to be sustainable.  No way.  [/quote]

Yes. Once the SD campus is no more, that's what the commute would look like. Currently, SD would be a 5 minute walk for us.[/quote]

PP, I would suggest you do a test run in the morning and afternoon on a weekday and on a Friday. Then you will know for sure how much time.

I don’t know where you work but unfortunately if it’s downtown, it’s going to likely take more than 45 minutes in rush hour traffic in the morning.  Sometimes it takes me 45 minutes 1/2 the distance you are traveling southbound on N. Capitol St from Washington Hospital center to downtown.[/quote]

That's a good idea. If I have a change of heart, I'll do that. I'm about 95 percent certain that I'm going to take it off because it just doesn't make sense for us. I'd have one in daycare and one in school and I have to do drop-off and pick-up for both. I do also work downtown. Currently, I take the bus from daycare to Brookland metro and just ride into downtown. The commute times I mentioned above would be from my house in Woodridge to the new campus so not even touching on the added time to get to and from work ?. And the drive time may actually be a bit longer just because that's not taking into consideration the added time of waiting on a ride share (I don't have my own personal vehicle right now). All of that added to the fact that I wouldn't want to enroll my son in a school only to take him out in a few years. I really liked the school, but we'll have to pass.[/quote]

This is a no brainer here.  Take it off the list.  Use that spot for a school that would actually work.[/quote]
