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.
