<p>Classes don’t generally get cancelled because of snow. You will learn/need to hike up and down the hill in every climate. I think there is a bus that will take you down to the rest of campus from Orchard Hill itself. I’m not sure how often that bus comes… I would imagine it’s pretty regularly during normal class hours.</p>
<p>If for some reason, you need materials for multiple classes that you can’t lug around, I’m sure you can find a place to hold it instead of walking back up (to your dorm) and down the hill. There are lockers available for a quarter(?) in the campus center and you might meet friends/professors who can help you out along the way.</p>
<p>As for location of classes, that depends on your class selection. Your course schedule will have the times and location of every class you will take. You can arrange your schedule intelligently to be as efficient as you want depending on the options. Some people choose to stack their classes/discussions so they’re one on top of another. 9am class, 10, 11, then a lunch break, then a class at 1. Others split them up… 8am, 11, lunch, 2, 4… you get the idea. This isn’t as flexible as I made it sound (especially in major related courses) but it can be if you’re talking about general-ed non-major courses.</p>
<p>FYI, the hill alone will provide some aerobic exercise for you, especially when it’s hot out. Soccer and gym specific needs strike me as less accessible in Orchard Hill simply because it’s so far away from the soccer fields and that new rec. center.</p>
