Bad thing about Amtrak in Columbia is that the trains always seem to go through here at horrible times - like after midnight. D and I took one her friends to catch train at fall break as freshman. Station is down in Vista - not far in distance, but not really walkable. I felt fine leaving her friend there even though not a whole lot of staff or riders waiting, but he’s a guy. Very bare bones station - no wifi or amenities.

Does she have a local friend to take her and hang out while waiting? I know the train takes a really long time. Are you sure it’s not almost as cheap to fly?
