If I attend the Naval Academy, what are the transportation options for getting to local airports? Does the academy provide a shuttle service, or would I need to arrange my own transport?
The United States Naval Academy, located in Annapolis, Maryland, doesn't provide a direct shuttle service to nearby airports. Students typically use other forms of transportation to travel to and from the airport.
Most commonly used airports by students are the Baltimore-Washington International (BWI), Washington Dulles International, and Ronald Reagan Washington National airports. From the Naval Academy, the closest airport is BWI, which is about 25 miles away.
For transportation, many midshipmen utilize public transportation, rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, or taxi services.
If you have peers who live in the same area or are flying to the same location, you might also consider coordinating rides to the airport with them to share the cost.
Additionally, there is a company called SuperShuttle that services the BWI airport and can take you directly to the Naval Academy. Please note that this is not affiliated with the Naval Academy and comes at a cost.
Always remember to factor in time for possible traffic when planning your travels, especially during peak hours.
