The Bus
The New England Alumni Chapters coordinate charter buses for PSU students that provide transportation between University Park and New England for Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring breaks. Last year nearly 400 students participated in the service.
For the 2020-21 school year, there will only be two travel dates: PSU to New England on Sat, Nov 21 for Thanksgiving and the return trip to PSU on Mon, Jan 18 to start the spring semester. With buses running at half capacity, each trip costs either $150 (CT) or $180 (Newton).
The cutoff date for the Thanksgiving trip is Sat, Nov 14; reservations and changes will not be accepted after this date.
