This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Berkeley chapter.
In a school of around 38,000 students, UC Berkeley can get a little (extremely) crowded at times walking around campus. Easily navigating through the swarms is very much an impressive and a necessity for crossing campus between classes. Do not be the person that makes everyone’s lives more difficult, learn how to move in a crowded setting.
- Thou shalt not get into a staring contest with one’s phone. (LOOK UP. SRSLYTHOUGH.)
- Thou shalt not cross the seal of G.P.A. with one’s physical form, unless you want your grades to suffer a cold and cruel demise.
- Thou shalt WALK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. It is the same concept as car traffic, keep right with faster traffic toward the center.
- Thou shalt not stop in the middle of the walkway. At this point in the semester, anyone who does this in front of me gets run into. Just go to the side!!
- Thou shalt not walk in large horizontal groups leaving no room for other walkers. The worst thing is getting stuck behind a crowd (think high school tour groups) while booking it from Southside to Etcheverry.
