The Best Commuter Rides for College Students
College campuses are big and crowded! One of the easiest ways to navigate daily life on campus is to get something to get you from point A to point B. Most campuses have subpar parking situations and are specifically designed for walking. If you are short on time, late to class or have a class on the opposite side of campus, a scooter or skateboard could be a huge benefit. Here we list out our top rides for college students just in time for beautiful spring weather (and finals season).
