High Visibility Walking/Running Paths

Hi everyone! I’m a woman who loves going on daily morning walks/runs, and I’m looking for some safe places to do that around here. I recently moved from a suburban area with plenty of sidewalks, so I’m still getting familiar with the area and would really appreciate recommendations for places that are safe, well-trafficked, and have good visibility, especially in the mornings. I know I can always use the rec centers, but I really prefer being outdoor.
Does anyone have favorite walking/running trails, parks, or paths they’d recommend? Bonus points for places where other people are usually out walking/running, too. Thank you!

Lancaster Commons Confusion

I was recently accepted into Duke for grad school and got approved for housing in Lancaster Commons. I was assigned a 2-bedroom apartment with a roommate, and I’m trying to figure out some logistics because I’m honestly a little confused.
The housing portal says the cost is $5,880 but is that amount for the full year, per semester, or something else?
I also had a few questions for anyone who has lived there:
Would a queen bed realistically fit in the bedroom, or would a full/twin be a better option?
What is the move-in process like?
What does the apartment actually look/feel like in person?
I’ve tried looking online and haven’t found much information, so I’m just trying to be as prepared as possible before moving. Any advice? I plan to have my own car so would I also have to pay for parking?
