Thanks! Those two actually are quite high on DC's (a junior) interest list.

GMU has shuttle busses connecting the four U.S. campuses (fifth is in Korea). Also takes kids downtown for internships and work.

Princeton, which is not a very big school, has an extensive bus system, which I hardly ever see anyone using. And I think it's open to anyone, not just students.

Or Disney with the lines sometimes.

They also have busses.

Main problem is if you live on main campus and take engineering classes you might have to leave your dorm /apr an hour early to get to class in time.

UMD has a shuttle however DS only takes it between the bars on Baltimore Ave and his dorm.

Once you get to around 30,000, you start seeing campuses that are really large by necessity.


In our experience, never rode a bus at Penn State in 4 years. Lived on campus and then apt. within 2 blocks of College Ave.
"Most students" would be an overstatement IMO.

UNC is a unique one - buses are run by town of chapel hill to reduce traffics in the areas. It’s funded by property taxes of chapel hill, Carrboro (2/3) and student fees (1/3). Its fare free for anyone.

It's not a different question, it's the question asked.
