I am a transfer student from Washington St. and while picking this school one of the things that I liked was that there is a shuttle to take students from the main campus to the metro and it also makes stops at the Tenley campus. However, being a transfer student I was pretty much forced to live in Park Bethesda the college owned appartments since I was not allowe to live in the dorms. In the information for this place they stated that "you don't need a car as there is a shuttle that goes every fifteen minutes to half an hour to the campus and goes until late at night. This is one of the biggest jokes that I have ever seen. They changed services only on this run and now it goes every half hour in little buses that usually have enough people all of the seats are taken up and people have to stand from the back all the way to the door, it is dangerous. Then it stops at 11:00 pm on weekdays, 8:00pm on Saturday and doesn't even run on Sunday. Plus at lunch and dinner time it takes a two hur break. So my tip to any transfer student is first bring a car if you canpay the extra $200 per month or come here either don't live in PB or even this school.
