Does anyone have any experience commuting between New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy and Lakeshore High School? Would it be realistic, considering traffic and all?
It is important to remember that commuting times can be highly dependent on variables such as specific times of travel, traffic patterns, and chosen routes. That said, the straight-line distance between the New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy and Lakeshore High School is roughly 40-45 miles, so the commute could potentially take at least 45-60 minutes, assuming average road and traffic conditions.
However, let's also consider that these times would be affected by rush hours, special events, particularly on different auto routes. For students, this time could be lengthened significantly due to the times that schools start and end which typically coincide with rush hour.
Additionally, the time spent commuting is not just in the car - it also involves the time taken to get ready and to park. And it's important to keep in mind, this would need to be done twice a day for a round trip, and could become exhausting over time.
Therefore, given the distance and likely commuting time, it might be practical to explore other options such as relocating or looking for closer school options if possible. If commuting becomes a necessity, it might be worthwhile exploring different routes, or perhaps looking into carpools, or public transit options if available and feasible.
Ultimately, the decision would depend on numerous personal factors – the ability to handle long commutes, the lifestyle impact, as well as the educational opportunities each school offers.
