Although we offer an active and full weekend schedule of activities, on and off campus, we realize there are times that students would like to visit friends on another campus or have family obligations at home. We have compiled this information so that students have it in order to make their plans. With gasoline prices on the rise, many students are turning to mass transit. We hope you will find the information and websites helpful in planning your next trip, but in the meantime, look around because there is plenty to do without leaving the comfort of campus.
Thank you and safe travels!
