<p>My DD wants to come home for fall break. She has a ride TO the Syracuse bus station and will take the bus home (to southern NJ), but is having difficulty finding a way back to Geneva from Syracuse. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>If you go the the HWS website - then go under Alumni - then parents you will find a section with info about the shuttles that go to Rochester and Syracuse.</p>
<p>HMSmom, I understand your frustration. The beginning of my son’s First Year I looked into the shuttles between Syracuse and Geneva and was appalled at how expensive they were: I don’t know if the rates have changed since then, as my son has always found rides back and forth. Has she looked on the ride board and has she also networked with her friends about rides? How about putting it out there on FB? I’m not sure what other alternatives there are. I hope it works out.</p>
<p>Thanks for your replies. She has found a ride to and from Syracuse, thankfully! I guess kids are much more last minute than moms LOL! Bummed that it’s so expensive to get to and from Syracuse though, it makes her feel a little isolated (and difficult for her friends from home to visit).</p>
<p>HMSmom, I’m glad she found a ride. It seems the kids are pretty good about networking and it comes out all right in the end, but I agree, I wish they weren’t so last minute! :)</p>
<p>My junior-year son has decided not to come home for Columbus Day weekend because he feels so swamped academically and his twin sister isn’t coming home either for the same reason, so we’re childless this weekend! 
The one bright spot is that we’re driving out to have dinner with our daughter tonight as compensation for her not coming home.</p>
<p>Hi fellow HWS parents/students:</p>
<p>My sophomore son waited to the last minute to find a ride back to Geneva after Winter break. He has the word out on Facebook, and I thought I would post something here. Anyone have extra room for him? Thanks in advance! </p>
<p>PS - sorry…wasn’t sure where to post this…</p>
<p>Queenbee14, our son, a junior, is taking the bus from Worcester to Albany and catching a ride. Where are you coming from? We were willing to work with transportation coming from VT/NH/MA/ME. I contacted the Parents Association early last week about the Ride Board as no one was posting rides and my son’s friends are/have been involved with study abroad and unable to help. They immediately put me in touch with Cully Semans of the Student Activities Office who sent me a list of rides posted at Thanksgiving and the beginning of winter break. PM me your email and I’ll send it to you. I’m not promising your son will find a ride from this list, but it’s worth a try. At this point I don’t know if there is any space in the car from Albany to HWS. Tell me where you’re coming from. In the meantime, I’ll ask my son to ask his friend’s friend if there’s room. </p>
<p>I was very impressed just how quickly the HWS community responded. At least, I can try to do the same.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the response Carolyn! My son is coming from Newton. He’s checked with lots of kids from Mass but their cars are full. The friend he drove down with isn’t going back until Friday which would mean my son would miss classes – not a good idea! </p>
<p>Anyway, I look forward to your PM. Thanks!</p>
