Getting Around at Arcadia
Arcadia’s campus is situated in the heart of Glenside, Pa., with easy access to local and regional public transport. There are a number of options to get around:
- By bike: If you bring your bike to campus, there are racks outside most buildings.
- By train:
- SEPTA’s Regional Rail system is a convenient way to travel from campus. The Glenside Station is a 15-minute walk from campus. After getting off of the train, walk down the stairs to Easton Road and turn right, toward Glenside Avenue. Continue along Easton Road for one mile, and you will arrive on campus.
