Septa is great; it's so easy to get around Philadelphia. I'm from the NY area and personally prefer it to MTA, if that means anything. [View Full Report]

Traffic is flipping crazy, but it's obviously supposed to be like that in a big city. Don't count on getting cheap parking anywhere near the admissions building. [View Full Report]
