[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]

I've found that you don't even have to physically do a test run; just type in the destination on Google Maps around the time you would leave home and it will give you a fairly accurate estimated time of arrival. That's I was able to cross a few schools off my list (DCB,Sela, Breakthrough...).[/quote]
