Best transportation on campus available for free at admissions office in Woods

Just imagine, wouldn't it be great if you could get a ride to school each day and on the way relax and read the paper or do the last minute reading for your first class? Or how about a catnap? What if I also told you that it would be free? No more parking fees, fighting for spaces, being late or receiving tickets. Sound too good to be true? Well it's not! In fact we already have the option. Each semester the admissions office will place a sticker on your student ID that enables you to use the BiState Transit system, including MetroLink, for free. There are two UM-St. Louis stations, one at the south campus and one at the north campus. Each MetroLink station along the route from North Hanley to Forest Park and both east side stations have ample parking (also free), and the trains run from about 6 a.m. to midnight during the week. The trains are fast, clean, and comfortable and I feel safe riding them day or night. Give it a try, it may be the solution to the parking problems that we have been looking for. For more info, contact the admissions office (#?) or Bi State at 231-2345. -Susan Sanders
