<p>How tought is travel to/from Wes? How hard is it to get to the airport in Hartford? I'm struggling to decide between Wes and Haverford, and one of my concerns is the ability to get out of town for a weekend periodically.</p>
<p>It's 20 miles, a 40-minute drive, from Bradley Airport in Hartford to the Wesleyan campus. Executive Taxi Service will take you one-way for $58. For holidays and schools breaks, Wesleyan provides free shuttle bus service several times a day. For a random weekend away, you might be able to get someone to drive you to the airport. I don't know anything about public transportation between Middletown and Hartford. The Admissions Offices are generally very nice about providing this kind of information.</p>
<p>There is a ride board in the campus center where students can post rides needed or rides offered-- so maybe you could even get a ride all the way back home!</p>
<p>The other function of this is that there are some students who drive people to the airport for less than a taxi would charge. </p>
<p>If nothing else, you'll most likely have at least one friend with a car for situations like that.</p>
<p>But please please please give your friend with the car gas money, and also ask them well in advance</p>
