Walking (or running) is a perfectly fine way to get around campus. Classes actually start 10 minutes after their nominal start time, so walking between classes should not be a problem, unless you schedule something like Tolman to Wurster.

The Foothill dorms are relatively close to where most math, science (except biology), and engineering courses tend to be.

The College of Engineering has some pages for new students that you may want to read before going to CalSO and choosing courses:

For EECS, you can also see the undergraduate notes:
