Summer training options

With the end of the academic year in sight, the timing may be right to direct students with summer travel plans to the Amtrak website, where they can apply for a student discount card that reduces most Amtrak fares by 15 percent. Amtrak also honors International Student Identity Cards to the tune of 15 percent fare reductions. And throughout the summer months Amtrak’s Campus Visit Discount promotion will be an option for prospective Aggies who would like their visit to Greensboro — along with a parent or guardian — to begin at the Galyon Depot. Parents and guardians of high school juniors and seniors can get a ticket for half-off when traveling to prospective college campuses on Amtrak routes.
