track star?

<p>My son's orientation advisor assured him that he could easily get from McLeod to Minor in the 10 minutes. I saw other posts questioning this since that is from Nursing to Common. Granted I am old, but at orientation it took me longer to walk from student health to minor due to the extremely long wait for the cross walk. So does my son need to be a track star to make this jaunt twice a week.?</p>

<p>Minor to McLeod can be done in 10 minutes fairly easily. You won't have to worry about that.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reassurance. It seemed we waited forever to cross Jefferson Park Avenue during orientation. Since he is young, it won't matter that he is going uphill from McLeod to Minor Hall . Plus jaywalking is not an honor code violation ;) so one less thing to worry about.
PS. Liked your other posts in this forum.</p>

<p>Thanks. Actually, farther up the street is a crosswalk where you can cross and don't have to wait for the signal, since I think by law the cars have to stop for you. It saves one or two minutes that way.</p>

<p>Why is everyone freaking out about walking times?</p>

I think it's one of those ideas people have about going to school at a state u. At some big, state schools, you have to pick classes with a bus schedule in mind.</p>

<p>Dean J has it right. Aside to Slammer. As an certified 60s guy, I got to say that questions about transversing a huge campus are not "freaking out". That old term was when you had a bad acid trip (not that I would admit to knowing personally despite the statute of limitations having passed , of course it happened to friends). Trust me, they are not the same.</p>

<p>I apologize for using my modern vernacular on this 1960s internet message board.</p>

<p>:cool: Glad to see the youth of today understand the proper use of sarcasm. Nice reply.</p>
