Visit Benedictine College

Transportation to Campus

For students traveling alone (seniors and transfer students only): Benedictine College coordinates transportation for students travelling without a parent or guardian using 5 Guys Transportation. Please provide us with your detailed flight information in advance so that we can coordinate with 5 Guys Transportation.

We strongly encourage flight arrival and departure times that fall between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. as arrival and departure times outside of these times create challenges for arranging transportation and overnight accommodations. If you are considering a flight outside of these times, please contact Claire Hollis, Campus Visit Coordinator, to confirm that ground transportation and overnight accommodations may be arranged.

For students traveling with a parent or guardian: Prospective students traveling with a parent or guardian are asked to secure their own transportation. Please note that rideshare services (e.g. Uber or Lyft) are unavailable within Atchison for transportation back to Kansas City.

Arrival and Parking

Registered guests will receive a confirmation email with more information approximately 6 days prior to your visit.
