Getting around the campus/town
August 27, 2007 by admin
Campus are huge in some schools. I mean really big. I have seen friends who will have part time job in medical school and they will stay few miles away but within the campus. At times it will be hard to go places within campus. Especially, when its cold and showing. People will wait in bus stop when there is few inches of show pouring on them.
New student’s usually walk a lot, but there will be campus shuttle that will take you free around the campus. Some students get bikes ( bi-cycle) to get around. All the building will have stand to park and stow your bikes.
Student usually get car after 1 year or so depending on the university location and cost of living. Yes, have a car will add to cost of living, especially, in some schools, parking is very expensive. In schools like Indiana University at Bloomington, where you will not find parking spaces within the campus, only way to ride is to park the car far away from the building and ride the campus shuttle.
Parking withing the campus varies from $30 to $300 or more per semester. So, getting around is fun, but make it interesting. Walk with your friends, chit chat about your day at work, class room, share cooking ideas ( oh yeah..I’m game for cooking).
