Walking (or running) time across campus for classes

<p>Does anyone have a general sense of long it will take to walk across the whole campus?</p>

<p>I have a back to back class at 2232 piedmont (which is near boalt hall) to barker hall which is practically two points on the opposite end of campus. </p>

<p>How long in estimate would it take me to both run and walk from one class to the next take? </p>

<p>I'm a transfer so I don't really have a good sense of how long that would be. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It is about a mile between those two places, according to [url=&lt;a href=“http://gmap-pedometer.com%5Dgmap-pedometer.com%5B/url”&gt;http://gmap-pedometer.com]gmap-pedometer.com[/url</a>] . Can you walk or run a mile in 10 minutes?</p>

<p>Note that the east side is at higher elevation than the west side, so you are going downhill. Going from Barker to 2232 Piedmont would be uphill.</p>

<p>Oh what a useful gadget! Thanks</p>

<p>But that only shows how to get around the campus not through it! At least its good to know it’s downhill. I have no idea if I can run/walk a mile in 10 minutes… I dont run often hahs but I guess I have to with this kind of schedule</p>

<p>If anyone knows the exact estimate for them please do tell!</p>

<p>Unless you ride a bike or a skateboard, it will take little more than 10 minutes and unfortunately you will be little late every time. Just hope that your professor at 2232 Piedmont won’t be the type of person who drags the class 2~3 minutes after the hour.</p>

<p>If you pick intermediate points in the campus, gmap-pedometer will follow the paths there.</p>

<p>You would have to go 6mph to cover a mile in 10 minutes. Most people walk 2-4mph (though race walkers can go >=6mph). Running speed depends on your physical fitness.</p>

<p>You can always time yourself with a slightly downhill mile long course, wearing a backpack containing whatever notebooks and other items you will carry to class. Note that there are backpacks made for running (typically with a hip strap so that it does not bounce all over the place when running).</p>

<p>Also, it can depend on what your classes are. I had a math and a history class on opposite sides of campus, but the last five minutes of math and the first five minutes of history were always administrative details that were already posted on bspace.</p>

<p>If you run, you’ll be able to do it, but I strongly suggest a bike (or skateboard) in such a situation.</p>

<p>What about from DWINELLE to EVANS? How long would it take by foot?</p>

<p>Dwinelle to Evans is about 0.37 miles, though somewhat uphill.</p>

<p>Dwinelle to Evans… I would estimate 5mn avg?</p>

<p>Expect 5-8min to get from Dwinelle to Evans, it’s uphill and across campus.</p>

<p>Dwinelle to Evans is pretty easy to make - exit dwinelle from the end opposite the entrance to the library. Hill is annoying though.</p>

<p>How about Barrows to Cory? Haven’t had to walk that in 10 mins before xP</p>

<p>I have North Gate → Dwinelle → Valley. Does that seem okay to walk? :confused:
I also have Chiet → Dwinelle lol… so many classes just one after another.</p>

<p>North Gate > Dwin > VLSB is relatively downhill, and should be fine. So is Cheit > Dwinelle, although that might take longer since Cheit is on high elevation (but roughly on the same plane)</p>

<p>Last year I had Li Ka Shing to Lewis. That hike literally took around 15-20 minutes.</p>

<p>Maybe take the bus from Piedmont to Barker (Oxford & University). I think 52 and Perimeter go that way.</p>

<p>I had etcheverry to barrows. Wasn’t bad. Thank god it was down hill.</p>

<p>Taking the bus isn’t worth it since a lot of students (jay)walk across the street between classes and the buses have to stop and wait.</p>

<p>Don’t take the bus. If the 2nd class in the lecture, just sneak in late. If it’s discussion just let your GSI know. Most GSIs are pretty understanding.</p>

<p>Oh okay! So North Gate -> Dwinelle shouldn’t take me more than 10 minutes then, yeah? haha thanks for the help :)</p>

<p>Chiet-> Dwinelle… I have 10 minutes so I guess I better start running -_________-</p>
