<p>i'm an incoming freshman, so i'll be living on north campus (donlon), and i'm in engineering, so it looks like i have to travel quite a distance to get to that quad. should i bring my bike, or are the buses good enough for transportation?</p>
<p>bus is easiest. depending on construction you can catch the bus next to jameson or in front of risley.</p>
<p>Walk. =D.</p>
<p>is bus free for students?</p>
<p>how far is the walk, i could do it if its not too far. but as i remember from when i visited two years ago, it was pretty far</p>
<p>Frosh get Bussing free for the first year… I’m bringing my Bike though, I’d rather bike around =)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i think about 1/2 the frosh walk and 1/2 take the bus…it’s doable.</p>
<p>if i register my bike, i’m guessing it doesn’t matter if i actually bring my bike or not right? since i think theres a deadline or something</p>
<p>I would strongly recommend walking, because there is nothing more uplifting than the beautiful morning scenery at Cornell. </p>
<p>Otherwise, freshmen get free buss passes. Some people ride bikes, but they are unnecessary and a hassle when conquering hills. The walk is about 15 minutes for the average walker, maybe 20 if you’re slow.</p>
<p>hmm ok that should be fine for me then</p>
<p>If you’re walking past Risley and you see the bus coming then hop on. If not, its a 15-20min walk. Really no big deal.</p>
<p>I thought it was going to be an issue but when I went to Cornell I LOVED walking around Campus it was just so nice and relaxing. The only time I would ever see myself using a bus would be in in heavy snow/rain.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>and so will everyone else. it gets soo bad at times that the ones who wait for the bus at risley are screwed b/c everyone else already got on @ the townhouse/basketball courts stop.</p>
<p>Yeah, its really not a bad walk. Just get a good raincoat.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same thing happens at Balch, since everyone else gets on at Helen Newman.</p>
