<p>What is the quickest way in the early to mid weekday afternoon to get from the UMCP campus to the Silver Spring Metro Station? To get back?</p>
<p>There’s a University of Maryland shuttle bus that runs straight to the silver spring metro station. I’m not sure if you’re looking for it for this summer or the coming semester, but for the summer in the afternoon it leaves at 2:35pm, 4:50pm, and 7:05pm, and during the academic year the busses tend to run more often. Alternately, you can catch the UM shuttle to the college park metro station, and take the metro to the silver spring station (you’ll have to switch lines)</p>
<p>Same thing in reverse for getting back to UMCP!</p>
<p>The Metro F6 bus runs straight through the campus and goes to Silver Spring station. To get back to UMCP you take the F6 from Silver Spring station and go towards New Carrollton station. From there you can get off on union drive or campus drive (right in front of the stamp). I have no idea if that’s faster than the UMD shuttles though. I would imagine the shuttle to be free with your school ID (which they apparently don’t check often).</p>
