The most likely way a student will describe the path to his dorm room is by mentally walking through the path and describing it as he does it. This method is more natural and can often be more accurate than reciting a rote list of directions or drawing a map. Giving the GPS location of his dorm room is also an option, but it is not as common as mentally retracing the path.
