| How To Get To Baltimore From College Park |
Driving: The Classic American Road Trip (Sort Of)
If you're the kind of person who enjoys the open road, the smell of car exhaust, and the thrill of traffic, then driving is the way to go. It’s about a half-hour journey, depending on traffic. And let's face it, traffic in this area is about as predictable as a squirrel on a caffeine binge. But hey, at least you'll get to enjoy the scenic views of... well, the suburbs.
Pro Tip: Avoid rush hour like the plague. Unless you enjoy spending your life savings on tolls and your sanity on aggressive drivers.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
Public Transportation: For Those Who Enjoy a Good Adventure
If you're looking for a more eco-friendly and less stressful option, public transportation might be your jam. The MARC train is a decent choice, offering a relatively quick and comfortable ride to Camden Station. From there, you can explore Baltimore's public transportation network or hail a cab (or Uber, if you're feeling fancy).
However, be warned: public transportation schedules can be as reliable as a politician's promise. So, be prepared to adjust your plans accordingly. And don't forget to bring a good book or podcast to pass the time.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Ride-Sharing: The Modern-Day Hitchhiker
For those who prefer a mix of convenience and affordability, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are always an option. It's a great way to meet new people (or at least, share a car with strangers). Just make sure you're not the person who orders a ride to the wrong address. That would be embarrassing.

Important Note: Prices can fluctuate based on demand, so be prepared to shell out some extra cash during peak hours. Also, don't forget to tip your driver!
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Biking: For the Eco-Warriors and Adventurous Souls
If you're feeling particularly adventurous (or just trying to save money), biking is a viable option. There are bike lanes available, but let's be real, sharing the road with cars in this area is like playing Russian roulette. So, helmet up, folks!
Warning: Not recommended for the faint of heart or those who value their physical well-being.
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
Walking: Only for the Truly Dedicated
If you have an abundance of time and enjoy a good workout, walking is always an option. Just be prepared for a long, sweaty journey. And don't forget to pack snacks and water.
Disclaimer: This option is not recommended unless you're training for a marathon or enjoy the feeling of regret.
