<p>My son is a sophomore and has used Home Ride a few times: from campus to Harrisonburg, as well as from Vienna back to campus. We live in SE PA and prefer using the Harrisonburg stop - greater travel distance for us, but typically less time and an easier exchange. </p>
<p>Home Ride uses coach style busses. As is typical for my son, he had no complaints. Purchasing tickets was easy. I would think that some of the busier travel days they might sell out of seats, but he was always able to get one when needed. The only problem we have had was no fault of Home Ride. We did not get him to the bus stop at Harrisonburg in time last year when returning to campus after Thanksgiving break due to 1 1/2 hour traffic delay (we only allowed an extra hour of travel time). We then had to make the full round trip to campus and back home - left our house at 1:45 pm Sunday and returned home at 5:00 am Monday.</p>
<p>Finding a carpool ride from someone in your area might be more economical if there are several students pitching in for gas, but when the logistics don’t work out, Home Ride has been a good option for us.</p>
