<p>What's the cheapest and best way to get to Ann Arbor from NJ (or NYC)? I think Greyhounds take at least 20 hours while Amtrak takes no less. Airplane tickets are about $300. I just want to know what transportation methods you guys use.</p>
<p>I am not a current student but I plan on flying. Twenty hours on a bus is not for me.</p>
<p>I’ve never taken a bus from the tri-state area to AA, but I can tell you for one thing that buses are the way to go in general. DC to NYC = $16 via bus, =~100 via train.</p>
