Healthy Dose of Trivia
Did you know Wesleyan provides a medical transportation shuttle service for students?  The service includes transportation to and from the appropriate medical facility and any additional stops related to your medical issue, such as picking up a prescription at a local pharmacy. There will be a $20.00 fee charged to your student account every time the service is utilized (which is significantly less than a cab would cost).  For complete details, visit:   http://www.wesleyan.edu/studenthandbook/resources.html#medical%20transportation
