    A college campus can be intimidating during one’s first few months of college; however, quick, easy, and convenient methods of transportation can lessen that feeling.

    Buses are available to students both on and off campus, and bikes are a great way to travel around Columbus and campus, as well. When walking to class and down College Road, many bus stops are visible, and while on campus, numerous bikers zoom past, and bike racks are full. Most Ohio State students living in dorms should be able to get anywhere on campus in no more than fifteen minutes, weather permitting; however, options like these can lessen the time or even serve as a great way to get to work or around Columbus.
