Hereford is also pretty good for stargazing ... nice hills! I think it's the highest-elevated portion of Grounds (excluding random observatory towers in the mountains...) I remember one time it was raining everywhere else on Grounds but it was snowing out on the Hereford hills (mountains?) lol, probably because the pressure is 50 mbar lower up there.
Hereford has Northline, U-Loop and the Trolley running towards Central Grounds -- 3 routes to the science area in the morning!

Try IRC. The nearest bus stop that goes towards Central Grounds (since Green goes to JPA and the Hospital...) is stop 16358. In order to make it for the bus WALKING, you have to leave while the online busfinder says it's 10 minutes away. That's because the straight diagonal route isn't possible because of the sheer cliff between IRC and the Ivy/Emmet corner (nice view though), and there's a big 4-lane road (Emmet St N) between the IRC and the bus stop and sometimes you'd have to wait to cross the road twice. I remember I would frequently leave Gwathmey while the bus was 5 minutes away and I'd have to sprint, cut through Munford doors (using swipe card) and violate all sorts of traffic rules and then hope Northline would be trapped behind the Emmet/Ivy red light. And then of course after 16358, NL takes a nice 5-minute break at Alderman Library.
It was really annoying whenever you suddenly decided on eating at O'Hill at 7:30 pm. The 15-minute walk was usually faster.
