[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the Saturday evening AmTrak from Williamsburg (1 block from campus) to Alexandria (AKA, the Hogworts Express), the Conductor announced a welcome home the 450 W& M students they were dropping off. Kids also came home Friday evening, Sat am, and there were two trains Sunday. And, of course, some kids drove and some were picked up.

Contrast this with 35 kids a year from MoCo. [/quote]

What makes you think that there weren't MoCo kids getting off in Alexandria too?  I live in MoCo and it's pretty much 50-50 to me on whether I'd prefer to do a train pick up at Union Station vs Alexandria....[/quote]

One Tribe!

I think that part was only meant to show the difference and thus competitiveness for OOS kids.  So, kudos to your kid :) I have not skin in this game, being from SE VA and I almost wishing I could be part of this Hogwarts tradition of seeing all those WM kids pouring out of the train :D [/quote]

Yeah. I grumble about the crowd. But f you haven’t seen your kid in a couple months, it’s pretty great to see hundreds of kids pouring out of the train talking and laughing with each other and hugging their parents.  It’s the moment when it feels like Christmas or Thanksgiving has arrived.  We usually get my other kid from the airport.  His school is also great and he loves it. But Dulles definitely does not inspire the same happiness and excitement. [/quote]
