My daughter went to BSA if you have any questions. She’s not super academic (good grades but not amazing) and she absolutely thrived there. Also, lots of her friends there were very academic. Personally I loved the mix of people she got to be in school with and loved that the school is small - class sizes are usually fairly small. The teachers are in general amazing and at least for my daughter helped her find her confidence in subjects she struggled in. I can’t speak for city other than it’s great reputation - I think it’s a decision that’s going to center on your kid’s needs.

Used to work down the street from Kirbies - they are also the nicest people ever.

There are tons of technical writing jobs for all kinds of things around here. Not sure how good they are but it was something I noticed when I was job hunting recently.

Cincinnati was great but they raised prices like crazy for us and we had to let them go. I’m still sad about it because they were so good.

I love not far from there and it’s a pretty normal neighborhood. People are generally polite and as long as you don’t think you live in Montana or something (lock your doors, lock your car) it’s fine.

Be sure it’s an all ages show. We used to take our daughter when she was a young teen. In fact the only issue I have with Rams head is that the owner put cameras in the women’s bathrooms in Annapolis many years ago.

When I threatened to go to a competitor the rep laughed and said good luck. I switched.

I’ve gone to the t mobile internet for $30 a month (bundled in with my phone plan) I think it’s $50 if you don’t have a plan with them. I love it.

Absolutely. Although I feel some of them went to NOLA too.

Reply to comment by Mojo_art in Should my daughter go to City College or BSA? by Mojo_art
It’s very focused. My daughter was music and although they had a semester of collaborative classes, crossing disciplines is generally only done on a “for fun” basis. Mainly because half the day is a full academic schedule and the other half is their chosen discipline, which doesn’t leave time for other stuff. It’s a longer school day to accommodate this already. That doesn’t mean she won’t have friends in other disciplines - my daughter had friends in all areas. Also because of this the choice of classes in general is less diverse, which is either a drawback or a blessing depending on your kid.
