It’s six blocks. This is not city blocks though, so it’s between one and two miles from the front gate, which is pretty far from the dorms. But there is a shuttle running between the station and campus every 10-15 minutes.
To get back there are shuttles and there is a cab stand there. My friend and I took a cab last weekend. If the guy had not gotten stopped by Police Aux entering (which never happens to cabs usually) and then thought I meant Comcast instead of Regents parking garage the ride would be about 6.00. I almost always take the bus, but it was after midnight and we had just missed the bus, so it was practically deserted, plus cold. So we went for the cab.

Note on safety–That is the kind of situation people choose incorrectly in that turns into UMD’s “safety” issues. (Common sense issues is probably more appropriate)
