Megabus has a stop in Iowa City, which is 30 minutes south of Mount Vernon. Prices for Megabus vary depending on when you book your ticket and where you are coming from, but can be a very cheap option. Buses from Chicago and Des Moines stop at the Iowa City station.

A member of the Cornell College Host Committee will work with you to determine the best transportation options. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to email Megan Hicks at student.sjti@gmail.com.
