TRANSPORTATION
Planning for your daily trek to campus

Before renting an apartment, it's important to think about how you're going to get where you need to go. For most University students, there are four ways to get to class: walking, biking, riding the bus, or driving a car.
Walking to campus can be great exercise
Waiting to camp can be particularly with the hills. It is cost-free, runs on what ever schedule you need it to, and gets you to where you need to go in the most direct way possible. The biggest issue lies in how much time is consumed with walking, and how miserable bad weather can be.

a specific location," said Anna Bang, a sophomore from South Korea. "The bus schedule is usually off time. Therefore, bus transportation is a little risky."
"I live pretty much on-campus in an apartment, but the downside is that I live in the student ghetto, close to the underage bars, and rent is a little higher because of the location." Ware said.
To solve this problem, Bang says that she usually chooses the seven-minute walk to campus from her apartment.

Biking can be another great mode of transportation. Like walking, a bike allows the rider

to get exercise and go directly from Point A to Point B. But with bikes the hills can be more of a challenge, though riding a bike is faster than walking.

rents a house near campus. By bike, he says he is only nine minutes away,
and he is not sure whether or not his home is on the bus route.
Riding the bus is not as direct as walking or biking, but it is a free mode of transportation that tends to be faster than the first two. Although riding the bus eliminates the hassle of parking, there is always the concern that the bus might come early or late. Alternatively, using the bus means that you have more apartment options because you do not have to be
directly off-campus. Most apartments in Lawrence advertise if they are on the bus route, and for those who do not know, it's easy enough to tell by looking at a bus schedule.
YOUR PLACE, YOUR SPACE
The last mode of transportation, driving a car, can often be the trickiest. Having a car at KU does not guarantee you can get to class. In fact, if you aren't prepared with the correct permits, then having a car can be a huge hindrance.
Yasaman Hajjari a junior from Overland Park, said that she lives an apartment on the Bus Route 32, and usually gets to class by way of car or bus.

Parking on campus can range anywhere from $100 for a Park and Ride permit, which allows students to park on West Campus and be bused over to main campus, to $235 for a Mississippi Street or Allen Fieldhouse parking garage permit, which allows students to park in their designated parking garage. Parking permits are very specific on where and when they can be used, so in order to avoid a ticket, it's important to get the permits straight before trying to park on campus.

The last time that Tyshawn Taylor will ever play a game on the hardwood of Allen Fieldhouse happened on Saturday against the Texas Longhorns. He wasn't going to let the Horns beat the Jayhawks for the second straight year in Lawrence. Taylor was great throughout the whole game. He went for 22 points on 7-of-15 shooting and 8-of-8 from the line. He also added four rebounds, four assists and three steals on the night.
his 50 points for the Jaywalkers. It would have been nice to get more from the supporting cast outside of Robinson and Taylor, Robinson and Taylor combined for 47 of the 73 points. It was a good win, especially since they knew Texas needed this victory.
