[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After the first semester you will be driving. The bus from our home (10 miles away) was 1.5 hours each way. [/quote] This is very commute specific. We live on the Fairfax side of the Fairfax/Loudoun border. Bus pickup at 7:30. Kid returns when he doesn’t stay after at about 5. When you factor in Kiss and Ride lines, it would be almost exactly the same if we drive. Traffic is traffic. If you drop your kid at a depot, I’m not sure why it would take less time to drive than bus. Also, to the PP above, I don’t think TJ success is as much about smart and efficient. If your kid does homework on the bus and soon after getting home, vs wasting time on YouTube. And the middle of the class has great college options. An 80+% admit rate to WM and VT. And my kid is middle of the class and also looking at SLACs. Not competing with many classmates and schools definitely are saying “But TJ”. [/quote]
