Hi, I am Grace. Hi, I'm Alex. We're your social media team.
Today we'll be showing you how easy it is to get to the light rail from the dorm rooms here on campus.
We're here at J-Mac which is one of the freshman dorms
and we will be walking to the light rail. We'll take the scenic route and then we
will take the efficient route and show you all about it
all right, so let's go!
so as we walk for those of you who don't know what the light rail is.
It is Denver's train system that... (Alex: Light rail is pretty self-explanatory)
okay I didn't think it was that's self-explanatory
but she thinks it is.
Anyways, it's basically a train system that can take you
almost anywhere in the Denver Metro area and the surrounding neighborhoods
So, this is Nagel hall and people think it looks like Hogwarts. I don't know. W hat do you think?
So we've come to a fork in the road. There's two ways to do this.
We could go through the Driscoll center, which, essentially, is a big bridge.
So when it's cold outside students like to take the bridge. There's also a lot of
offices in there if you need their services (and food, and coffee)
And we also could go across the road if we need a little more sunshine because Denver's super sunny
So you can go that way...or, you can go that way
Because it's nice outside I think we'll go... that way
I'm going to cross the next road. You can listen to the bells going on in the background.
It's beautiful, beautiful. Watching out for traffic, and also watching out for skateboarders.
So this part of campus actually is quite sentimental to me because this is the walkway that I
used to take to get to my classes from my freshman dorm when I was a student
here in Halls or formerly known as Centennial Halls and I also used to watch
soccer games or football games, depending on where you're from, here on this field.
okay so we have finally made it to Centennial Halls. Didn't take us that
long and we took the scenic route and Centennial Halls is the other freshman
dorm here on campus and it's literally maybe like 30 seconds away from the
light rail you can literally see it over yonder if you know you're looking for
but here there's also a general store there is a meal hall as well.
So lots of cool things here. So here we are at the edge of the campus
As you can see right across the way is the light rail station.
So here we are at the light rail. We made it. Took us literally no time at all
Maybe ten minutes if we had not stopped to chat so not bad at all
We're going to take the fast route home, which is just a straight shot down High Street.
and I'll show you how that looks okay and like I said it's just a
straight shot down High Street. We will soon be back at J-Mac, which is the first dorm that we started at.
The first freshmen dorm.
And as I said, straight shot, easy walk. Little bit of the scenery (Alex: Hi!)
And there is that bridge that I was telling you guys about earlier that we didn't cross, which we could cross.
There is Jerusalem's, which is some delicious Mediterranean food.
There is Campus Safety. Hello.
And... We are still going.
I wish these trees were in bloom, because this walk is actually quite beautiful
But, it's the end of winter, so things are a little bleak.
In the Fall it will be pretty though
In the Fall, it will be gorgeous.
Lots of red and orange and yellow
So here we are back at J-Mac or Johnson-McFarlane
J-Mac is its nickname and it probably only took us about 12 minutes
slowly (Alex:12 minutes back) 12 minutes back the efficient way and we were walking
pretty, pretty slowly - comfortably, if you will, and the whole thing
round-trip probably took us about a half an hour and we stopped to film and chat
and say hi to people on the way so that's how quick and easy it is to get
around on campus and beautiful. It's gorgeous outside today.
So we hope you enjoyed our little video.
and we're proud to offer the lightrail here in Denver. Thanks! Bye!
So we started at the Johnson-McFarlane dorm for freshmen we went past a couple
of the other dorm rooms on campus before skirting around the chapel and the HRTM
building until we found ourselves at Driscoll South.
We decided not to take
the bridge so we went around the field across from the Anderson Academic Commons
which is our library here
We also crossed Driscoll North. Went in
front of Sturm College of Law as well as the Sturm Hall which is where a lot
of your classes may be
and then we got to the north side of campus which hosts
a lot of the athletic facilities including the soccer field that I was
telling you about but also Lacrosse fields and Tennis courts
then we went down below into this little covered area before we came to
Centennial Halls which is another freshman dorm on the north edge of campus
where we continued on and reached what is the light rail -right there- and then
to complete our journey we just took High Street all the way down passing the
Jerusalem's restaurant that I was telling you about that's been here for
decades and that's how we came back to J-Mac. Boom and there we are
