<p>My D has developed an interest in St Mary's. As an OOS-er, though, I worry about the transportation factor to/from Reagen Airport. Can someone comment on how hard it is for OOS students without cars to get to campus?</p>
<p>Sorry, can't answer your question. But, I'd like to suggest you include BWI in your airport considerations. It's a hub for Southwest Airlines and less beltway headache to deal with. Yes, it's 20 miles farther, but probably nets-out even for total drive time.</p>
<p>DougBetsy, thanks! I spent my high school years in MD & commute to DC fairly often, so I know National. Sorry, Reagan. I'm less familiar with BWI. But I appreciate the advice! (And glad someone is looking at this forum!)</p>
<p>Hi
We looked at St. Mary's - and while D loved it she chose to go elsewhere. we're OOS so xfer to airport was a question we pursues a lot. What we heard over and over was that there's a rider board and so many kids go to the DC area for weekends that it's relatively easy to get a ride - if you want one. Plus, I think there are buses on the major longer weekends off.</p>
<p>whereto, thanks! I also appreciate hearing that your D loved the school (despite selecting another). Good to know when one is evaluating from afar!</p>
