<p>At UW we had a "ride board" in the union where students could find or offer rides from campus to wherever. Is there such a thing at Iowa? My son needs a ride home for Thanksgiving and is dragging his feet, figuring, I suppose that it's no big deal for me to run down (4hrs each way) to get him. I think he's waiting for someone to stop in the hall, asking, "Hey do you need a ride home?? Let me help!"</p>
<p>Beast, not sure about a ride board (I remember one at the Illini Union as well), but last I looked (its been a while) seemed like this sort of thing was frequently posted on the various Facebook sites (parents, students admitted 2010, housing, etc.) – this generation’s definition of a bulletin board.</p>
