Hi My name is S.S., Our son is a Sophmore this year and does not have a car or want one. (to much trouble). He takes the bus which is a charter bus home at Thanksgiving and Spring break. My husband went up and brought him home at X-mas because they won't let them bring a computer on the bus which we understand. It was between $120.oo and $140.oo which is less then it cost to go get him. They bring to Flint which is a hour from our house not 8 1/2 hour one way. We don't worry as much about young people who don't know how to drive in that kind of snow. He can sleep most of the way and is not zonk out for two day sleeping. We either call and reserve his ticket or he gets it as soon as they go on sale. It's worth it. Hope this helps.

It picks up at the MUB. It's great. P.L. _______ Where do the Kids find out about the charter bus. I remember seeing a flyer during our visit to MTU last Feb. and thought that was a good idea. We already told our some that this was going to be an option for him for Spring Break, because we had a hard time getting back during our visit in Feb. We're from the Flint area and this is a great option. Let me know, so that I can advise my son on where to look for this opprotunity.
