Pros: The Greyhound I wrote on the way down seemed brand new. The seats were very comfortable. Cons: The assigned seating was confusing, and had never had that on a bus trip before. I don't prefer it but do not hate it entirely as a concept. However, the layout of our assigned seats seemed strange. I was seated in the middle seat of the back row by the bathroom with another passenger to each side while there were many empty rows on the rest of the bus.

We may feel a little bit more than just brotherly love for Philadelphia, a city steeped in history and culture. Where else can you channel your inner Rocky Balboa on his epic run, and later enjoy an authentic Philly cheesesteak as a reward?
Philadelphia’s affordability (especially compared to other East Coast cities) is just one of many reasons it is among Wanderu’s best destinations for college students. Another reason is how much there is to do! Early American history takes precedence at Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, while museums abound on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, sometimes called the most artistic mile in the city. Head to Reading Terminal Market to fuel up for a night hitting the bars, clubs, and live music joints that line South Street.
Philadelphia is a major hub for both Greyhound and Amtrak, and its 30th Street Station is one of the busiest stations in the country. The plentitude of ground travel and the nearby Philadelphia International Airport make this exciting city very easily accessible, even on a budget.
