School breaks are an excellent time to go home, relax and recharge before finishing the semester. At Keuka College, we try to make break travel stress-free with multiple options to get home, with direct shuttle services from campus to regional transportation hubs and direct bus routes from campus.
All shuttles will be picked up at the shuttle pick-up location between Dahlstrom and Saunders Hall.
At this time we do not provide individualized transportation other than for the below breaks and holidays.
You must notify Campus Safety at 315-694-0268, 24 hours prior to your arranged transportation if you need to cancel. If we do not receive a cancellation and you are a no-show, you may incur a fee of up to $80 added to your student bill.
Travel by Plane and Bus
For students without a car, the best method of traveling long distance is by shuttle from Campus and connecting through Rochester, Syracuse, or Geneva. Rochester Regional Airport, and Hancock International are the closest airports, while the Geneva and Syracuse Bus Station are the major departure point for buses (Greyhound, Megabus, Trailways, Amtrak).
