Not debating it's a great price but 3.5-4 hours round trip(more w/rain or rush hour) is a lot...If someone is willing to do that once a week or more great, but I think it would wear on you and actually end up taking longer to finish as opposed to driving 20-30 mins to a local school more often. Add in gas and tolls(believe it's $11 to cross the Verrazano these days) and it adds up. An alternative would be to stay out near N87 for a few days and fly but then you get into hotel/motel costs. Sounds like a great deal if you live West of the Hudson!

The drive may be a killer. Does he commute by plane from farmingdale to robbinville? I could hitch a ride and learn on the go. That price is exactly what I was hoping for.
