[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too long. A full work schedule.
Hours for pre-graduation ceremony prep-hair-gown-makeup-photos. 
[b]THEN factor 2-3 hours for drive to UMBC (depending on where you're coming from),[/b] parking, traffic to get on exit ramp and off, finding seats, bathroom fixing hair getting student where they need to be etc.
THEN 2 hrs for ceremony. 
THEN 2hrs to mingle, photos, bathroom, change clothes if needed, figure out where to go after leaving parking lot, finally get out of area for a celebratory meal/drinks. 
THEN drive +1hr to that place.[/quote]

Are you coming from New Jersey?[/quote]

Some of us are coming from western areas of MoCo. No UMBC was not where we wanted grafuation. Clearly you have not been to UMBC on graduation day. Fool.[/quote]

Some of us who are coming from western areas of MoCo have actually driven to UMBC and know that it takes less than an hour. Maybe the bathroom fixing hair part accounts for the extra 1-2 hours?

UMBC is not more inconvenient than DAR or UMD. Mount Saint Mary's might be less inconvenient, but I don't know, because my kid graduated from Clarksburg HS in 2021, so graduation was in the stadium. Is the stadium the most convenient? I thought so, but I understand that there are other considerations beyond my personal preferences.[/quote]

Good for you to have driven to UMBC from western MoCo. Have you driven to UMBC from western MoCo on graduation day? No. Ok, so you need more time.[/quote]
