<p>Can anyone out there comment on getting back and forth from New England (Boston area) to Colgate? I'd be interested in train and bus information. Thanks!</p>
<p>The nearest Amtrak station is Utica - students share taxis to Utica at break times. There's a Greyhound station in Utica too. There are several bus companies that stop right in Hamilton (see the Colgate website for a list - Trailways and some others) and there are additional bus runs from Colgate at break times. My son talked to the local travel agent in Hamilton to find a bus home at Christmas (not to Boston though) - the bus left right from campus. Some Colgate alumni groups also sponsor "movie buses" from Colgate at break times.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information!</p>
