[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to decide how comfortable I am with 14 year old taking metro, especially with the shooting there 2 weeks ago. Does anyone do private bus service there?[/quote] The school does an excellent 4 week freshmen orientation/summer school that’s optional but highly recommended. One of the three classes is basically an intro to all things Gonzaga and they actually take them to Union Station, go over the metro, how to act in Union Station and the neighborhood, etc. It’s basically the month of July. The summer is a great time to master the metro, VRE or MARC as there aren’t other kids going to school and things are less busy. By the time the first day of school rolls around in August my kid was very well prepared. For the first week of the summer program I rode with him on both VRE and metro so he got the hang of both, how to pivot if a train offloads or he misses the VRE, etc. Your son will be fine. [/quote]
