Ever a fan of America\u2019s railroad train system,\u00a0 Doug Landau has been recommending Amtrak\u2019s special program for students looking at University campuses for almost a decade ! What\u2019s the deal ?<\/p>\n

Especially for schools on the East Coast, a train is a great way to get from city center to city center. Plus, you avoid the long security lines and need for a rental car if the colleges you are visiting are on the metro, subway, or other public transportation lines.<\/p>\n

Landau also likes train travel because you can walk around, get food, see some famous sights from your window (especially in the Philadelphia area), and not have your ears popping, worry about the overhead luggage bins becoming full, or wait for your boarding group to be called.<\/p>\n

In short, train travel on Amtrak is quite civilized and Landau finds it easier to nap on the train. There just seems to be much more room on an Amtrak train than most commercial jets. More importantly, Landau can get a lot more work or reading for pleasure done on the train, as there is no need to \u201cstow tray tables\u201d or put up seats during landings and take offs. When traveling to New York City, Philly, New Jersey, or Connecticut for injury and disability cases, Landau has taken Amtrak trains frequently, because he can count on the trains being on time and not being stressed out when he arrives.<\/p>\n

During these cold months ahead, plan a train trip to visit college campuses, or for vacation, and business. Try it, you\u2019ll like it !<\/p>\n

Amtrak<\/a> has partnered with Collegia to make visiting campuses more affordable. Their \u201cBuy one; get one 50% off\u201d Campus Visit\u00ae Discount i<\/a>s the smart way for high schoolers to personally check out their top choices and make sure the college that looks so good in the brochure is really a good fit.<\/p>\n
