(Yes, I just made that up). What I\u2019m referring to here is how difficult it can be just getting from one place to another at U of T. \u00a0We\u2019re all aware of the expansiveness of it. What do you do when you have back to back classes from Bahen to Northrop? What do you do when you spend more time trying to find a study spot than actually studying? I\u2019m sure we\u2019ve all stumbled upon new buildings, spaces, cafes, short cuts (or warm-cuts), and hacks at our time here but there always seems to be more.\r\n\r\nUniversity College Basement<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI once spent more than half an hour roaming around just looking for a space to get some work done with my friends. Okay, so it may have been midterm season which means everyone you know and their best friend was in every library and caf\u00e9 spot you like. What we ended up doing was finding a small empty classroom in the basement of UC, and quite a lot of people were actually already there doing the same thing. You can find plenty of unconventional study spaces with just a little more searching. Keep an open mind!\r\n\r\nOISE Connections<\/strong>\r\n\r\nConsidering St. George Station seems to be one of the more popular stations, we should probably know about the accesses it has. One of them is directly through the OISE building, just go down the stairs by the washrooms. If you want to be even more efficient, figure out which TTC train door you should be standing by so it opens right in front of the stairs\/elevators\/escalators.\r\n\r\nOld Vic to Northrop Frye Hall.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI\u2019m usually not on this side of campus but I was told that there\u2019s actually a tunnel in the basement that connects these two buildings. How\u2019s that for winter time struggles.\r\n\r\nPhilosopher\u2019s Walk<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe\u2019ve all probably used this one time or another, but take a moment to walk through here and really put places into perspective. There\u2019s so many routes that this helps out with \u2013 I\u2019ve mapped out a few:\r\n\r\n\"mapped<\/a>\r\n\r\nGo through buildings rather than around<\/strong>\r\n\r\nNeed to go from St. George St. to Devonshire? There\u2019s paths through Innis and Rotman.\r\n\r\nSt. George St. to Kings College Cir? Go through Knox College.\r\n\r\nBahen to the Koffler Student Centre? Take the Hallway in front of CUBE.\r\n\r\nHart House Backside<\/strong>\r\n\r\nHart House has many things. Among those is this little back entrance you can access coming from Hoskin Ave or through this small path if you\u2019re coming from Queens Park.\r\n\r\n\"mapped<\/a>\r\n\r\nQueens Park Station<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMake the most of the streetcar connection from here. You can also cut through the Medical Sciences building depending on where you\u2019re headed. There\u2019s a Tim Horton\u2019s in here, a printing place, and a few food spots underneath \u2013 including the basement of the MarS building (Hero Burger, Booster Juice, and a number of others)\r\n\r\nQueens Park, the Park<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s so easy to get lost in here so take a moment to get familiar with all the different routes you can take which will save you precious minutes getting to and fro \u2013 that\u2019s if you\u2019re willing to use this once the snow turns into slush.\r\n\r\n\"mapped<\/a>\r\n\r\nFor more information, there is always<\/em> an app<\/a> for that.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
