HI, I’m looking for suggestions regarding travel from SUNY Purchase to Boston. We plan to fly into NYC and out of Boston.
My daughter has an audition at SUNY Purchase on a Friday and has another audition Sat in Boston. Thinking of just renting a car since we have no idea how long we will be at Purchase and they suggest we plan to be there until 6pm. That way maybe we could get dinner on the way. The trains seem to leave from NYC, unless this is incorrect, which would extend our travel time. Is this even realistic? As a last resort, I may consider calling to see if we can change the audition date in Boston.
The original plan was one audition Friday and one Sunday in Boston. Not sure if they changed the date or if the original date was a misprint.
Thank you in advance for any input!
There are several bus lines that have very reasonable fares White Plains to Boston and would be your best and cheapest option if the times work out for you. Also, I believe Amtrak stops in Stamford CT and there is bus service from White Plains to Stamford. We don’t live in Boston but I have heard that these are options that Purchase students use to travel. Best of luck to your daughter! Purchase has a wonderful dance program.
Amtrak does stop in Stamford, CT, which is closer than NYC and heading in the right direction. Personally, I would rent a car and drive, but wait until rush hour is over.
Not sure if this has already happened, but if not, i would try to fly into Westchester Airport (HPN) which is right next to the school and fly from there to Boston. The drive will be LONG after a day of auditions, but doable.
