We actually tackle this exact question in a Roundtable Discussion in the course! I personally think our public health person would be the first to die because she would try to take the zombie's temperature. Our Social Scientist would be too fascinated by the zombie society and would try to study it. I think the physicist and myself would fare pretty well.

I would grab lots of food from the dorm cafeteria and head to those secret tunnels under the campus.

I live in earthquake country, so I do have a set of supplies ready. I definitely have food, water, crank flashlight, crank radio, sturdy shoes, work gloves and a first aide kit. The same things would likely be useful for a hypothetical zombie apocalypse. Our public health person is a big fan of garlic and says it is great as a bug deterrent and has lots of medicinal uses. That might be a good, but smelly addition to such a kit.

In the real world, no. However, there are many diseases with similar pathologies to the Walking Dead disease. The rabies virus attacks similar parts of the brain.

Yes, but the physicist at some point would try to experiment with stuff and make their weapons more powerful. It is only a matter of time before one of the weapons failed. The mathematician has no delusions of weapons proficiency and would be safely hid away from the zombies.
