Some of these buses - such as the Russell Hall bus and East West - come directly up to the bus stop at Russell Hall.
An additional piece of advice is a strict avoidance of construction zones.
With construction crews on Baxter Street and Carlton Street, those University students with destinations on some parts of both North and South campuses should walk on the construction-free side of the street or the pathways behind the main street sidewalks.
Using pathways such as the walkways extending behind Snelling that lead down to Forestry and Plant Sciences may save a minute or two.
Also, many pathways tend to run diagonally between buildings such as the many crossing patches of concrete on North campus.
Even if you are not planning on becoming the next mathematician to win the famed Abel Prize, remember that the distance constituted by the diagonal of any right triangle is less than the sum of the perpendicular sides.
The idea here is to cut diagonally when possible, remembering that bare grass without a proper walkway is fair game - but don't forget good shoes - and in the world of cutting corners to save time in which to get to class, this is about as good as it gets for the campus walker.

Great advice for the students. Any pointers in getting around such a large campus is A+ especially about construction areas!
Great job on the article. (Continued…)

Its also a good way to get robbed in this town after dark. If its dark outside I would not recommend walking on a dark trail on campus. Last year there were numerous armed robbery report on or very near to campus where a UGA student was the victim. (Continued…)
