Hi,
That's actually what I'm shooting for, too. I'm pretty much cooped up
in my campus for this semester with my course load, but next semester
I'll have an apartment with a few roommates and won't be stuck going
from my dorm, to class, to the dining halls, and back again. I'd love
to be able to walk to the convenience store just off campus, or the
Krogers down the road to go on a quick run for groceries. Our
university offers a shuttle to Wal-Mart on Saturdays, and one of my
roommates will have her car here, but for me it is about not being
beholden to travel schedules. If I want to walk to the store to grab
a few things then as long as it's not already dark outside or
something I want to have the option of doing it available to me. AS
Kirt said about the unfamiliar route too, I also want to be able to
look at the bus routes online, plan a route, and take a gps and just
get wherever I want to go by bus and walking. I hope to be able to
explore a lot more next semester. (the first step in that will be to
get a gps, but I'm holding out for the Sendero IPhone app to come
out).
