sounds great, but back to math class with you...
A = 7 blocks west, B = 3 blocks north, C = distance to campus
A squared + B squared = C squared
49+9 = C Squared
square root of 58 = C
C = 7.6 and a bit
but really, C = 10, unless you have a jet pack or helicopter, since you won't be going diagonally.
Enjoy the new apartment!
And please tolerate my being a smart alec...
