In an effort to provide extended social, recreational, and cultural opportunities for WPI students, planning for bus trips to Boston has been undertaken. Boston provides a number of activities in each of these areas and affords great opportunities for students. It is hoped that by providing a bus service running on Saturdays from WPI to Boston that students will have diverse alternatives from which to choose when planning their weekends. Whether you are looking to visit a museum, walk the Freedom Trail, go to a play, do some Holiday shopping, or just hang out at a club with some friends, this service provides a way for you to get there and back, cheap.
A four weekend, trial period for B-term has been developed. The schedule for the bus will be decided based on student input each week and will be posted outside the SGA office along with information on how to sign up for the trip each week. The cost is $3 and is payable upon reserving a seat on the bus.
This effort has been undertaken through the Student Government Committee on Student Life Issues. It is being supported by SGA, Student Life, Student Activities, Residential Services, and Healthy Alternatives.
