<p>My D is interested in Cornell. We're from the Phila area and as a parent I'm a it concerned about how she will get home on holidays. It seems like the only way home is by car as there is no train. She won't have a car and with all the new yourkers won;t it be impossible to find a ride? Thanks</p>

<p>This is what I use--EXTREMELY convenient. It takes you right from campus to three locations in the Philly area (and vice versa).</p>
<p>Another option, though a bit circuitous, is taking a Shortline bus into NYC and taking a train from the city to Philly...I'm sure there's a more direct route, however.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link. Guess that fear is gone! Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the large # of New Yorkers or are you happy at Cornell?</p>
<p>Cornell has people from all 50 states and most industrial nations. I wouldn't worry about all the new yorkers. I say that being a Cornell graduate originally from new york ;-). But I can say that in my classes there were more out of country folks that new yorkers. Cornell has a lot of everyone, and your daughter will be able to find whatever group she wants to spend time with.</p>

<p>Do you know of a similar service for cities in northern New Jersey?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.coachusa.com/shortline/%5B/url%5D">http://www.coachusa.com/shortline/</a> looks good, but the closest city to my hometown is 40 minutes away (Ridgewood, NJ)</p>
<p>Bump (is this legal? haha)</p>
