That's definitely something to think about. My flights to Providence (from my small hometown airport) usually ran about $300-$400, and I had layovers in Memphis AND Detroit. I was always exhausted upon arrival at my final destination. After my freshman year, I started flying into Logan at Thanksgiving and it turned out to be about $175-200 (I also stretched it so I left on Tuesday and came back Saturday). Logan is only worth it if you're saving more than $75-100, since you'd have to pay for the airport shuttle or train to Providence. I still managed to make it home every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break except for Thanksgiving and Spring Break of my senior year (I went on vacations with my boyfriend instead). If you jiggle the days around, you can find affordable airfare.
I was on campus this weekend for meetings and went to some presentations about the campus expansion. Some very exciting things are in the pipeline! More than anything, I'd love for my niece to go there but I won't pressure her.
