Saxony Crescent is one of the first things you come to as you enter the main part of the campus. It is a good place to start from if you are looking for specific buildings, as most of these are signposted from Saxony Crescent. It is the place were many of the College buses pull in and collect students at the end of the day. You will need to check your bus stops though, as some public transport buses collect and drop off at other places on campus.
