<p>I will be attending UMD in the fall, and will be using BWI Airport to fly home throughout the year. My question is what is the best way to get to and from the airport from campus? So far I've always been with my parents who have rented a car. What is the cheapest and best mode of transportation for a student alone?</p>

<p>When Ds have flown home, they’ve used both BWI and Reagan. Reagan is most convenient, since the metro goes right there, but sometimes BWI has been significantly cheaper. They’ve usually gotten rides from friends to the airport if they are going to BWI; as plumazul’s link shows, there are shuttles and bus service that goes to BWI, but for some reason the timing didn’t work out for our family.</p>
