<p>whats the easiest/cheapest way to get from upenn to boston? i heard amtrack is good but kinda expensive.</p>
<p>cheapest cheapest way would be the chinatown buses...</p>
<p>If you check the schedules, plan your departure times as best you can, and then try to shop early for your train ticket, you might get a better price. The station in Philly is close enough to Penn's campus that you might save a bit on the dedicated time and/or cost to and from campus compared to flying or other transportation options.</p>
<p>I would strongly recommend Amtrak, unless you plan/want to stop on the way, in which case a rental car or bus might make more sense.</p>
