I took the Greyhound bus as well. It was reliable. I also was fortunate to have had boyfriends who drove and had cars on campus. It was a great perk. 
I remember our student union at University of Oregon had a bowling alley in the student union. One of their bowlers who was famous was left-handed, so he had a bunch of the bowling balls drillver for left-handers. I never bowled as well before or since!
