The shuttles are great, but I get the feeling that student drivers would not be so nice, caring, and thoughtful to give students free rides if they weren’t getting paid themselves. People don’t volunteer to drive other students around for a long time–it’s part of their job.

Swarthmore College pays these drivers, providing the income to the students who need the money, and the transportation for everyone who needs it. This is very unusual (as far as I know), and very generous, and a tremendous help for the students who need to get to/from the airport. And it definitely is one of many examples of the little things that the COLLEGE does for its students.
