Okay, so my best friend (who is Russian and not on Grad cafe or any other websites where relevant info can be found) will be going to UConn for 3-4 months this winter. Obviously, he will a) not have a car probably live on campus c) want to see NY, Philly, Boston and *if I can convince him* the Atlantic. Hence my question - I've checked out the website and all, but it assumes everyone has a car. How easy or difficult is it to get out of Storrs? Is there rail service (preferably something inexpensive) to the major Eastern cities? How reliable and decent are the buses? And what can one do (assuming my best friend is OH SO NOT a party animal) on campus?
