College students are very busy with school, work, and social life. There's a lot to do and it's hard to balance it all. Finding time to exercise can be very difficult and stairs are a convenient way to exercise. When you climb the stairs you can get some exercise but it doesn't interfere or detract from your schedule. I agree that the stairs are a good way to get exercise, but the stairs are right next to the student-athlete building. All these students have already done their training for the day and are very exhausted. Sometimes athletes have to climb stairs multiple times in a day to get to practices, classes, the training room and study room. Some may argue that the shuttle takes longer than the stairs and that it is bad for the environment. Those who don't want to wait for the shuttle or want to exercise can still take the stairs. The shuttle would be nice, so those who have already exercised don't have to climb the stairs. It would also be nice to have warm transportation during the cold winter
