RAIL
Amtrak: - From New Carrollton (NCR), take a cab or arrange a ride (about 15-20 minutes drive) or take Metro (Orange line to the Green line; change at L'enfant).
From Union Station (WAS), take a cab (20-25 minutes) or Metro (Red line to the Green line). New Carrollton is slightly closer. Union Station is much nicer. Most trains stop at both stations, and the ticket price is the same.
Marc: - A very small number of trains run each weekday and stop at the College Park Metro station (Camden line). The DC Metro serves the University of Maryland at the College Park stop on the Green line. It is a 20 minute walk; there is also a shuttle bus (schedule: PDF). map trip planner
