Travel Info
Class Times
Ocean Systems classes run from 8AM to 5PM with an early dismissal on the last day, no later than 3PM typically. Please book return flight out of BWI after 5PM.
Airport (BWI)
Although the DC Metropolitan area has 3 major airports; Baltimore Washington International (BWI) is by far the most convenient to our facility. If you are arriving on a Sunday, traffic is usually not an issue but if you plan on traveling during the week, please account for our rush hour traffic, which can be a bit unpredictable.
| Planning your flight home: Since the last day of class ends around 3PM, it would be challenging to make a return flight earlier then 5PM once you account for travel to airport, car rental return, shuttle to airport, and early check-in requirements. Please plan accordingly. |
Car Rental
We are located between Baltimore and Washington, DC. If you are interested in venturing out to see the surrounding area or just want flexible transportation then we recommend you rent a vehicle. Most, if not all, car rental facilities for BWI airport are off site, so plan additional time for a shuttle to and from the airport to the car rental facility.
