How difficult is it to effectively use pepper spray?

There’ve been three reported sexual assaults on my uni’s campus in the past week and I’m only taking night classes this semester. I either have to walk a mile through two construction zones or wait up to 30 mins for a shuttle in order to get to the only parking lot I could afford. I’ve never used pepper spray before, campus doesn’t allow us to carry weapons for self-defense (not that I’d know what I’m doing anyway), anyone have suggestions or insight? Is pepper spray easy to screw up? Thanks!
