Walking on campus-Activity Level?

I am a university student living on campus at the moment, but my campus is pretty big. I basically just want to know if I'm on the right activity level at 'lightly active' or if I should be moderately active? I'm not really sure how the difference is?

Monday to Friday I probably walk 2 hours a day on average? Some days it's more like 3 and others it's 1.5. No less than that usually though unless there's some unexpected cancellation to a lecture or i wake up late or something.

Then at weekends it varies:
I either stay in my room studying with a trip to the gym (I add my exercise calories on top using my HRM so that's not included) . Often on those days I'll probably have a 30 min walk to some area of campus and back to buy something or see someone, but not guaranteed.
Other weekend days I might go to the city centre and go walking around shopping for a couple of hours, but this is usually every 2-3 weeks.

Monday and Tuesday I also have dance classes, which I count as daily activity.
Latin/ballroom on Mondays for 45 mins
Salsa on Tuesdays for 45 mins.
(These aren't highly active though as it's more slowly going through then practicing the steps. Nothing high cardio-like, but still on my feet)

Every other Tuesday I also do an hour of contemporary dance which is quite active in comparison (with about 20 mins for the warm up/cool down). But like i said this is every other week.

So would this be lightly active as I can be quite sedentary on some weekends. Or moderately active? It depends on how much walking would be categorized as each one.

Thanks! :)
