I am trying to find a way to Monmouth College in IL. I was thinking amtrak... but OH MY CARLISLE It is expensive!!! I need to know by tomorrow morning if i can get a ride with one of the other volunteers, and none of them are even responding to me... So, now I'm faced with Amtrak... and I'd have to come in Early...
The biggest problem is that I have to be there between 4-9 if I come in the day before... but... the cheapest two trains that will stop in Galesburg are 1030 am (arriving galesburg) and 842pm (arriving galesburg)
What am I supposed to do all day in a town I know nothing about... or rather, how am I going to get to Monmouth College in time before it closes.
They'll provide a shuttle... I'm so lost!

I might bring a little hand work for the train ride and for the sitting and waiting... I will need to talk to my dad about getting my train tickets too... I'm trying to keep them cheap... so yeah...

The cheapest train I can get there is 17.00 which is perfectly fine... I'll be in the area around 10:30 am... and I'm trying to find the cheapest train home... but at this time it's not looking to promising... If anyone lives in the area... or near by, it would be great to have company.

What about a Greyhound bus or some other long-distance bus line?
How is all your stuff getting up there?
Once you're up at school, you can find people near you who want to share ride costs. They will posts on school kiosks or maybe a school website forum.
