What is the best way to travel from Washington DC Intl Airport to UNVA Manassas Virginia?
I am planning to pursue a weekend MBA program from UNVA at Manassas in Virginia. My job requires me to travel and i intend to travel to the school on weekends. Is there any public transport available from Washington DC airports to University of Northern Virginia at Manassas , Virginia on Weekends (Saturday Sunday) Are there any cheap options available in the neighbourhood of the school available where you can bunk in for a night and go to school the next day ?

Your question got me interested. I've lived in this area for years and never heard of the University of Northern Virginia, so did some checking. Based on their website, it appears that while the school is licensed by Virginia, it is not accredited--at least by the mainstream accrediting organizations in the US. Were you aware of this? That doesn't necessarily mean that the school isn't good, but it does mean that many employers won't accept a degree from the school, nor can you easily transfer credits to another school. They also don't appear to advertise in the local media, and they have offices/campus overseas--it appears that they are targeting international students who want to get a visa to study in America, regardless of the school. As for transportation, it will be limited. While the Virginia Railway Express runs out to Manassas and there are also some commuter buses from DC to Manassas, service is weekdays only.
