Walking

The majority of my day at Umass Amherst is spent walking to different locations on campus. When I wake up in the morning I walk to the bathroom, and when I’m going to class I walk to the classroom. Not only am I walking very frequently but the majority of the walks are very long. The size of the campus at Umass Amherst makes it very difficult to not have to walk very far on a daily basis. Even my dining hall which at most campuses would be a relatively short walk can sometimes take ten minutes to walk to. Students who plan on attending this school should be prepared to walk roughly two miles a day when trying to go to class and get food. The amount of walking at Umass is also made even more difficult by the amount residential areas and buildings that are found on steep hills. After a student’s first year at Umass Amherst they will notice a significant increase in the size of their calves and hopefully avoid the freshman fifteen by always attending class.
