yeah, that will help.  unfortunately, it still looks like you'll need to
take the R1 from the airport to 30th street.  the other thing is that the
newark rail station is actually kinda far from things from what I recall -
you would need to take a university shuttle for the dorms if you had any
kind of luggage, or arrange for a shuttle to whatever hotel.  but it still
beats taking the DART bus from wilmington :)

thanks for the research help :)
