Comes in handy! I usually rely on Mapquest/Google maps to get me most of the way there, and then a paper map to fine tune exactly how to get to the building. I think the hardest campus experience I have had was driving in to UPenn and parking, then trying to find a specific building. The hospital there is INSANELY complicated to figure out, and I felt like I was in a labyrinth. So a word of warning to anyone going through UPenn hospital :) Fortunately I have been blessed with a good sense of direction, and an internal compass. Comes in handy!

I had a friend along to share the 40 hours of driving. When we arrived in Oakland (university district of Pittsburgh) there was only parallel parking, so I kept driving. About 2 miles away I found a street where I could park my car and trailer, and walked back to find the friend on whose couch I'd spend the next few weeks until I could get an apartment, a friend I didn't know yet but who had been introduced via an Intervarsity connection.
