Travel Tales: Campus Bound for the Fall Semester

Huskies, start your engines!

Reunion is behind us, and fall is almost here, so students will be heading to campus for the first time or returning to Houghton in full force over the next few weeks. Many students rely on the open road to get back to campus, but travel to the University for fall classes takes many forms—from prop planes to fast cars and motorcycles to the good old bus line.

When you were returning to fall classes, how did you arrive in style for day one of the semester or trimester? Let us know in the comments!
