Thank you for your support of CollegeBus.
This information is intended for first time riders and parents.
Please note, we are two Scranton parents doing the best we can, so if we don't communicate enough, or communicate too much, please bear with us as we find the right balance.
For the trip specifics, we will be sending out information to both the parents and the students via text, generally being more verbose a week prior to the break. This will be the same type of information for each of the breaks. The process will become routine after the first trip or two. All of the departures from the University will be at 18:00 (6:00PM) and the return will be from Westbury at 19:00 (7:00PM), EXCEPT for the return from Winter Break, which will depart at 12 noon, providing enough time for the students to get settled at the University.
As for each Break, the bus will be departing the University from
Brennan Hall (320 Madison Ave), click here for the location
by 17:30 (5:30PM) so the students can check-in and board the bus.
A local parent will supervise the check-in process.
This is a direct, non-stop route from the University to:
Westbury (click here for directions) - 1500 Old Country Road, Westbury, NY 11590
We will continue to provide updates on their progress as the bus is approximately
an hour before arrives at its destination. These updates will sent to the parents via text message.
As for the return trip, they will be departing from:
Westbury (same location) - 1500 Old Country Road, Westbury, NY 11590
We ask that the parents and students arrive at least 30 minutes before the departure time, so that we can check-in the students and send the bus on its way back to the University.
The drop-off at the University is on North Webster Avenue, by Condron Hall.
The purpose of doing it this way is so that the students are always walking with their bags downhill and not up hill. Brennan Hall is at the bottom of the campus, while Condron Hall is at the top.
If you or your students need help or have questions, please contact us at (516) 774-1700.
