Lots of reps don't have any practical information on transportation. It's not flashy or glamorous but it's those details that keeps a school on the likely list. DD sent out-of-state. The university had a ride service. Picked up students arriving into airports 90min away, if arranged in advanced (for a fee of course) Very useful info. Many far away schools were attractive but with no major airport close by, no known transportation offered by the university, they dropped immediately from our list.
That's ridiculous. There was no ride service to Dartmouth yet somehow I managed to get there. From overseas, by myself, with no cell phone. This is why kids today have no problem solving abilities.
