Q: What's your favorite part of driving a bus?

A: Being in control of a very large vehicle.

Q: Was it hard, learning to drive?

A: Yes and no. The first week I thought there was no way, but then it all comes together.

Q: What's the weirdest or funniest thing that ever happened to you while you were driving?

Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
