If you go to UCLA, chances are you are familiar with the clogged artery of the school that is Bruinwalk. Bruinwalk, being a central hub of information on campus activities, is a great way to publicize your club’s events, learn more about different organizations and just delve deeper into the opportunities and benefits the school has to offer. BUT…Bruinwalk may not be the best place to go if you are trying to get to class on time. Here is how to avoid Bruinwalk, aka, how to get to class faster and avoid having flyers shoved in your face.

1. The tennis court elevator leading to the path behind Pauley Pavilion

Coming from the hill, this is an especially easy way to beat the downhill walking AND the traffic going to campus. This is particularly beneficial to south campus majors as the stairs at the end of the path bring you right to the Court of Sciences.

2. Charles E Young Drive North

This is particularly for North Campus majors. If you go past Sunset Village and down the road, this route will lead you straight to the Anderson School of Management, putting you right on the path to all the North Campus buildings.

3. Janss Steps

Janss Steps is a beautiful way to get to Powell and other North Campus buildings. If you’re willing to walk up a bunch of stairs (and get a great workout in the process!) then this is the route for you.
