Guilford College in Greensboros NC: Places in Walking Distance Near Guilford's Campus

Being away at school and not having a car can be a bummer. Since Guilford College isn't located in the midst of a big city, it can be even harder. But there are actually a good number of local businesses within walking distance.

1) Harris Teeter: for anyone who's not familiar with Harris Teeter, it's the local grocery store. From Guilford, it's about a 5-10 minute walk. If you're standing on campus facing Friendly Avenue, you'll want to cross College Road, which is perpendicular to Friendly, then cross Friendly. Harris Teeter will be diagonally to your right.

2) CVS: The CVS by campus is open 24 hours, and is near the Harris Teeter. Your best bet is to walk like you're going to Teeter, then take the little road to the left of Teeter straight back and CVS will show up on your left.

3) Quizno's: Quizno's is a sub restaurant that specializes in toasted subs (and did way before Subway ever got the idea). If you walk like you're going to CVS (above) it will be in the same lot as CVS, so you'll take a left but Quizno's will be on your right.

4) Friendly Hills Apartments: For car-less off campus living, Friendly Hills is great because it's cheap and close to campus. It's also prettily wooded. So whether you have friends there or you want to live there or you just want to check it out, you can get there by following the road that goes past Harris Teeter (mentioned above) and go straight instead of bearing left.

5) Wachovia: Most Guilford students bank with Wachovia, which is conveniently located across from Guilford. If you stand on the corner of campus that faces the Friendly/College intersection, you should be able to see Wachovia at the corner of Friendly and College (on the right).
