[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean parent here and I wish graduation would be at EagleBank too! Or at least offer shuttles like Marshall.[/quote]

Marshall's shuttles to DAR (at least as of a few years ago, dont know about the past couple of years) were first come, first served and basically very limited space. But I'm not knocking that -- I thought it was good that the school did provide some limited transportation for those who weren't the grads themselves. But shuttles aren't a solution for most attending. Side note: We found the DAR graduation pretty easy but we did not have any elderly or disabled relatives attending and the timing (I think it was 11 a.m.) was good for getting in and out of the city that day. Tip for those who want to drive and not Uber: Use Spot Hero or similar websites/apps but do it well in advance of graduation day.[/quote]

I know people who Uber'ed and also reserved parking - it did not matter - the traffic was so bad, it just did not matter.

If it takes two hours for at least half the attendees in traffic (not moving, most of the time) - then there is a big issue with that particular venue. [/quote]

Can I ask which time slot you had?  Just wondering.  We had the early slot last year -- 10 a.m. I think.  Maybe we got lucky with traffic.  Probably is easier for the first group of the day to get parking.  I would imagine that those in the 1:00 group (who need to show up by 12:15?) have a much harder time getting into the parking garages b/c we had a heck of a time trying to get OUT.  The garage was super jam packed and I wasn't sure we were ever going to get out b/c they parked cars in all the spaces you need to use to drive out.  [/quote]
