daughter going to Johnson and whales in Rhode Island

Help us please. She may want to come home a few weekends and I detest highway driving. I am rather terrified of it. What is a way to get her home through public transport. We live in the bucks county area. plane might be an option. I just need ideas at this point. thanks

First of all, isn%26#39;t Johnson %26amp; Wales in Providence and not Newport?

As for your daughter getting home, how about she takes the Amtrak home? She can take the train from Providence to New York, then board another train for the trip into Harrisburg. Total travel time is about 7 hours and costs about $150 roundtrip. Is Harrisburg close enough to your house?

She could easily do either a train, plane or bus. they are all easily accessed from JW. Plane will require her to take a taxi though. Although our local list it as Providence it%26#39;s actually in Warwick,RI..


She could easily take Amtrak home. She could probably walk to the Providence station if she wanted to from JWU. I go to URI which is further south on the train line and I know tons of students who use amtrak to get back and forth to New Jersey or New York. She might have to transfer in New York though. She could also look into a busline- but I had a friend take it to New York and she said it wasn%26#39;t a good experience.

She could also make friends with someone from PA and go home with them sometimes too.


My son attends JWU in Providence, and I can assure you that it is a very public transport friendly school/town. Your daughter will have lots of classmates who can help her figure out getting home. The train and bus stations are both an easy walk from the downcity dorms, and from these, she will be able to get into NYC and transfer to a PA-bound train and home to you, no prob.

Plane not worth the time and trouble. Getting to and from the airport will make that trip take as long as the train option. Check out the Amtrak options, or PeterPanBus.com for information on the bus from Prov to NYC.

Good luck!
