Considering I am living in the dorms I would not try to get out right away and instead lock myself in my room until the rush of people getting outside were gone, as this was happening me and my room mate would get all our knives together, and try to break anything we can into club like weapons. Once the rush in the building is calming down my two friends from upstairs would try to come down to my room with anything they could and any food they could fit in there backpack. We would then get everything we had and move quickly to the parking lot and to my girlfriends truck.
Lucky for us we live in an open not heavily populated area of campus, once we were in there we would head to my house out in the boondocks as fast as we could, staying off the main roads. We all agreed that if any of us got bit we would have to take them out. If we could make it to our house we should be decently safe for a short period of time, it is sparsely populated and we have some of my dads guns, we also have enough food to last for quite some time. We would try to contact everyone we knew across the country by any means necessary and try to see what the government is going to do.
If the situation is spreading slowly and is isolated we would try to get to a group of survivors, but if it is spreading quickly we would try to hold up and draw as many people to us as we could. As there is a gas station somewhat near us, we would into our trucks and as many weapons as we could gather, (hopefully rifles and shotguns) and get all we could from the gas station, I think it sells bullets there to, so that is useful.
Once we thought we were doing as well as we could and needed to leave we would probably move to another small town situation until we could gather enough people together to be decently safe, we would probably try to move to a small beach community so we could defend from there, if at all possible at sometime in the future to secure some aircraft capable of traveling long distances, it would be ideal to get to some kind of small island, and eliminate all zombies on the island, if we could completely purge the island of zombies then we could at least stay alive there, at peace, we would of course constantly examine the oceans and keep safe, but we would be able to rebuild slowly from there.
This of course would be remarkable challenging and very likely to fail and would take years if ever to work, but I would at least try.
(Edit: It only makes sence that zombies start out at about the same speed that they were when they were alive, but as there bodies start to decay and they slowly lose mucle mass they slow down, I think that the virus is slowly eatting at them and they eat flesh to slow this process. best Zombie? Michal Jackson... Thriller anyone?)
