The cost of transportation in college can really vary. Will you drive, fly, or take public transportation to school? Is on-campus parking free, or will you need to budget for parking?

At Holy Names University, freshman are allowed to park on campus.
A school's location can impact transportation costs. Small, rural schools may be easier to get around, but the cost of getting to campus may be higher. On the flip side, transportation in an urban area can be costly, but cities may offer more trains, busses and low-cost flight options to actually get to school. Holy Names Universityis located in a urban setting in California, near San Francisco.
