<p>Hi. I recently committed to UCLA.
Next year I plan to live on campus and I was wondering what device would be the most suitable for getting around on campus fast. Please list the pros and cons of the things you suggest.
Bicycle...there are a lot of steps at UCLA
Scooter...I am not 10 years old
Skateboard and Longboard: I have this upcoming summer to learn how to ride them. </p>
<p>Please help me consider factors such as cost, control, ease of carrying, style, ect.</p>

<p>I know you said you weren’t 10, but I wouldn’t dismiss the higher-end kick scooters. I love mine, which I used to get to class and now to get around campus for work at UCLA Transportation. It’s a Xootr MG (pronounced Zoo-ter): [Xootr</a> Mg : Adult Push & Kick Scooters : Xootr Urban Transport](<a href=“http://www.xootr.com/kick-scooter_mg.html]Xootr”>http://www.xootr.com/kick-scooter_mg.html). The Xootr MG retails for $230. It has seven inch, ultra-low resistance wheels, front and rear brakes, a carrying strap, and an all magnesium deck that is wide enough for an adult. I hauled mine into the classroom, but you could lock yours up at a bike rack too.</p>
<p>Also, yes, UCLA has steps but if your travels take you on the perimeter of the campus, or occasionally off-campus, you might consider a bike. You can try one out by renting one from the UCLA Bike Library. For just $35, you can borrow a commuter hybrid Felt brand bike for a quarter.

<p>The program is popular, so be sure to get yourself to the rec center early (like first day) of the quarter.</p>
<p>The vast majority of people just walk here. The campus is not large enough to need any of those things.</p>
<p>Yeah if it isn’t a large campus then save yourself some money and just walk.</p>
