<p>WhiteWind, the only problem with the shuttle is that sometimes a lot of people will decide to take the shuttle and obviously they can’t all fit. The way to make sure you get on is to be one of the first people there waiting. But as far as pick up/drop off times, the shuttle is always very dependable. It’s certainly more convenient to have a car, because then you can come and go as you please, rather than adhere to a timed schedule, but they time the drop off/pick ups at good time increments so you’re not rushed or waiting for a long time. Basically, it’s nice because it’s free transportation :)</p>
<p>Also, nobody really takes the bus here, but UR does provide free bus passes to all students so we can ride the bus for free. Our route basically just goes into the city by VCU, if you ever needed to get there. (Me & my friend ended up taking the bus once).</p>
<p>Static, have you seen UR’s 3-1-1, 3-2, etc. programs? There’s a couple that let you get your bachelor’s in whatever at Richmond (probably chemistry or math or computer science or something along those lines) AND a masters in engineering in only five years - this is specifically available at UVA and VCU. Depending on how important it is to you to spend your whole 4 years at Richmond, it could be a really good option. Here is a link:</p>
