Address of Prototype School
Is it possible to get the address of prototype school in Ballston Spa, NY? My son is currently looking at places to rent in the area while he is going to school there and he is figuring out commute time. He will be moving there in a few weeks after Power School graduation. Thanks.

My son has the same issue. BTW he said there are something like 111 going up on December 9. I tried looking up the address, too and it looks like the location is actually in "west Milton" but Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa are pretty close by.

If you mapquest that address, it sure doesn't look like a place where our boys will be doing prototype. I heard it might be out in West Milton at the Kissering (or something like that) Atomic Laboratory facility.

Jeanne, my son and his roommate did the same thing. They are in Waterford in a really nice apartment complex. AND it is actually cheaper than the ones around Saratoga. I laughed at them as there are several older single women in the complex and they provide cookies, cakes and brownies for the guys. And our guys do small chores for them in return. Sounds like a good deal to me!
