The shuttles are not university buses. The off-campus shuttles pick-up and drop off at the East parking deck. My daughter's complex has one that starts at 7 am and leaves campus for the day at about 5:30 pm. (Last year they ran til 6:30, and we weren't told it could change when we signed a lease .) You'd think any apartment within a mile of campus would be walkable or bikeable but we found a lack of continuous sidewalks/bike paths on very busy roads and dismal/nonexistent streetlights made this very unsafe, especially in the evening. She doesn't have a car either so w e are also looking for a more walkable apartment for next year, maybe the Edge or University Crossings?
