Try the trip planner:

I can't imagine you'd want to walk from any of those stations either.

You should transfer to a GO bus. I believe they have routes which stop
right in front of Humber College. That trip's gotta be at least three
hours one way though. I'd recommend finding closer accomodation.

You can always call and ask too. It's much easier than fiddling with
maps that don't show all the possibilities and best routes.

Cheers.
