What is the cheapest and fastest way to get from Princeton to Harvard?

There really isn’t an inexpensive option, unfortunately. Train is probably your best bet. Fastest: Amtrak from Princeton Junction to Boston. Slightly cheaper: NJ Transit train from Princeton Junction to NY Penn Station, then Amtrak to Boston.

Do you have a virtual “ride board”? we used to have one on my campus…students could post that they needed a ride, and split the cost of gas with other students who also wanted to drive. There must be other Princeton students who want to visit Harvard…

And once you are in Boston (South Station?) you need to take the T to Havard Square. Quick and cheap, but adds another leg to the journey.

A good scholarship. Sorry. ;-)

Ivy League schools* do NOT give merit scholarships; only a financial package (grant, loan, work/study) based on need. They also pow-wow and agree beforehand so that one is not outbidding the other…

*Harv., Yale, Prince., Dart., Columbia, U Penn, Cornell and now MIT – altho it was never part of the eponymous Ivy League football league.

I think she meant literally traveling from princeton to harvard, like on a bus or something…

I think we got that.

@carlosp; I couldn’t agree more. It is often difficult to figure out that what makes one person laugh is serious business to another. There is also a huge (13–70+) age difference on this board. It makes for some very interesting reading.
