I'd love to: but unfortunately, the Amtrak trains all leave at ungodly hours of the morning and don't arrive until afternoon. In my case, I have another exam in the morning on December 1 and the exam in DC on the 2nd starts in the early afternoon. Amtrak just isn't practical due to their odd scheduling, unfortunately.
As to Greyhound, I'm just not too keen on bus travel.
But I definitely appreciate the suggestions!
