<p>I'm a prospective engineering student who is currently visiting umich. Yesterday, my family and I drove around the north and central campuses to get a feel for the school. Since north and central campus are somewhat far apart, how do students typically travel between north and central. I know there's the bus system; how convenient is that? Do people ever walk? How often would a freshmen engineering student need to travel between north and central campus. </p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>Most people take the bus. I know someone who walked but thatwould be unusual.</p>
<p>Walking is kinda ridiculous.</p>
<p>You’ll take the bus. As a first year engineering student, you’ll probable take the bus everyday. Just try to work your schedule so you don’t need more than 1 round trip a day.</p>
<p>That is of course if you live on North. If you live on central, you’ll only need to use the bus 2 or 3 times a week probably.</p>
<p>Yeah pretty much what Woody res ipsa said. You can track the exact position of buses online too, so you know exactly when it’ll arrive at each stop. The only negative is that the buses stop running at like 2am, so if you’re studying at the Dude late night, you have to find another way to get back to central.</p>
<p>If you really wanted to walk and you lived on the hill, you could probably cut through the Arb and get to north campus in 30-40 mins.</p>
<p>
Don’t they have free taxi services after mid-night leaving from the Undergraduate Library (UGLI) to North Campus any more?</p>
<p>I think they do.</p>
<p>And the arb is nice</p>
