Amtrak - The Smart Way to Travel!
You've got places to go, people to see and things to do on your way there. That's why riding Amtrak is the perfect way for college students to travel. Get focused and study while spreading out in comfortable Coach seats, enjoy a meal in the dining car while taking in the view, or kick back and relax in the lounge while hanging with friends. It's the smart way to do what you have to do while getting where you need to go - all without the hassles of driving.


Looking for a Hookup?
Part of being a college student is knowing where to find deals.



And Amtrak makes it easy by giving you the money-saving connections that can make traveling by Amtrak even better:

Student Advantage Card: If you aren't already a part of the program, sign up for a Student Advantage Card at www.studentadvantage.com and take advantage of a 15% discount off the best available Amtrak rail fare. The Student Advantage Card also offers over 20,000 discounts on clothing, food, entertainment, and more.

Amtrak Travel Scholarships: Through a partnership with the United Negro College Fund, Amtrak is making it possible for selected HBCU students to receive travel scholarships for the next school year for travel to any destination serviced by Amtrak. For more information, visit http://www.uncf.org/scholarships/scholarde...

Make Amtrak a part of your college experience. Call 1-800-USA-RAIL or visit Amtrak.com to book your next trip.
