Traveling in the United States

 

The public transportation system in the United States may not be quite what you are accustomed to. However, in major metropolitan areas you will be able to find a network of subways, taxis and buses that make local travel easy.

 

Wilson College Shuttle

 

There is a low cost Wilson shopping Shuttle that runs Fridays from 5:00 p.m. through 10:00 p.m. to a number of shopping locations around the town of Chambersburg. Shopping shuttle pass is $25 a semester or $40 per year. See Student Development Office Manager Lorie Helman for a pass.

 

There is Shuttle service from Wilson College to the Washington D.C. Metro system at least monthly, and more often if there is demand for such. Wilson offers shuttle service to D.C. Metro system (Shady Grove) at reasonable cost. Check with Student Development Office Manager for details.

 

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

 

If you will be traveling within the United States or abroad, you should be familiar with the different modes of transportation available to you. And don’t forget to ask about student rates.
