Best Ways to Get to the Airport
  • s
  • Since the airport is an hour or more away (depending on the one you’re going to), the best way to get there is to find a good friend, buy them lunch, and get them to take you. It’s a pain trying to coordinate rides and times, but it’s the only way you’re not going to have to pay to get back to school from the airport.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Public transportation in Oxford has greatly improved over the past couple years. The University brought back Rebel Ride, a trolley that operates at night and provides students with a safe alternative to drinking and driving. They also added a bus system, Oxford University Transit (OUT), that runs through campus and to the main parts of Oxford. However, OUT only runs from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. The city has a few taxi services: Rebel Taxi, Angel Taxi, and Jack’s Charter Services, which also runs shuttles to the Memphis and Tupelo airports.

Most students still choose to travel by car. If you don’t have one, there are plenty of people on campus who would be willing to let you drive theirs—provided you acted as DD (designated driver) for the night. I know it sounds crazy, but there are more economical and environmentally friendly methods of transport. Your own feet are a great source of transportation, especially when you live on campus. Nothing is very far away, not even the Square. It’s only about a mile from campus. And you can always get a bicycle. It’s cheaper than a car, saves a lot of time, and is great exercise.

Rebel Ride

Rebel Ride is the best option to use for transportation. It it a good source, although sometimes it does take longer than the time it says.

Rebel Ride

It is very convenient at stopping a lot of drinking and driving in Oxford. Also, it is used for short trips to walmart. Overall, it is a great idea.
