<p>I found this site which offers discounts for campus visits…I love the train.</p>

<p>Has anyone used this, and what other discounts are out there?</p>

<p>Nice find! I love the train too, although the train trips my daughter took to visit colleges were necessary because we couldn’t take her, so the free ride wouldn’t have helped us. Nevertheless, she took a train from Philly to New Haven to visit Yale (very easy), and also from Philly, with a change in NYC, to Albany, followed by an hour taxi ride, to visit Williams. We’re lucky to have such options in the NE. Southwest Airlines is coming on strong as a great resource for college visitors, though.</p>

<p>Yes, we used campus visit the amtrack tickets can’t be beat. You can’t beat free with a stick. The trains are also so much cleaner and nicer.</p>
