honestly, i've never used tarc and am not very familiar with the routes near u of l. i live in st. matthews in the east end of louisville (about a 20 minute drive from school). i'm not originally from here and didn't go to undergrad here but from what i know the old louisville area near campus is popular with some students. i think you really have to be careful about where you live, though -- some parts of old louisville are a little sketchier than others. where are you moving from?
