Amtrak's 30th Street Station
Public Transportation:
Use SEPTA Regional Rail (R1 Airport Express, R2 Warminster, R3 West Trenton, R5
Lansdale/Doylestown or Glenside Local)
outbound to Jenkintown Station. During the weekday
rush hours in the morning and evening the fare is $4.50 one way. All other times the
fare is $3.75 one way. If the stop where you board has a ticket office and it is
open, purchase tickets prior to boarding the train to avoid the $2.00 surcharge for
on-board purchases. The College is a 5 block walk from the train station, approximately
0.7 miles. Leaving the Jenkintown Station parking lot turn left onto Greenwood
Avenue. From the train platform, take the steps to street level,
turn right and proceed to the traffic light at the corner. Cross
Greenwood Avenue (at this point, West Avenue becomes Township Line
Road). Walk east on Township Line Road 5 blocks and turn right onto
Breyer Drive. This is
the entrance to the College. Turn left at the first driveway and walk around to the
front of the three buildings (pond side). The College occupies the two connected
buildings (South and West Buildings). The main lobby is in the West Building.
The Admissions Office is on the first floor of the West Building.
