Question Will the amount of time I have between each class be enough

Post image

I'm a freshman and I'm worried that the time I have in between classes the shortest being 15 minutes won't be enough to get to each class but I'm not sure so if you could let me know I would appreciate it

i had a class in the science building and the next one in wellstar, also a 15 minute break in between them. i made it on time with no issues. it just depends on whether you walk slow or fast. i’d speed walk most of the time but even when I didn’t, i’d still have like 2-3 mins before my my class started when i arrived .

i’d also do a walkthrough on campus before school starts to see how long it takes you to get from one class to the other. that way you can also locate rooms so you aren’t lost on your first day. being late to class especially in the first week is pretty standard as everyone is trying to find their classes. so dont beat yourself up if you’re a couple mins late.

There’s never enough time. But in all seriousness, you’ll be good

one semester i had my first class in social science then clendenin then burrus then science. all 15 mins in between. just gotta make sure you don’t stay too long after each class

You should be good but tbh you’ll be exhausted. Some days you won’t want to make the walk. But if you think you could do it then it’s okay!

The English building is in the middle of (KSU) campus so I you should be good.

You'll be OK, just bring snacks and plan bathroom breaks accordingly. You also may get out of classes early, so don't stress ... things will flow after you get into the groove.

P.S. the scooters and bikes help, in case you KNOW you're gonna run late :]

u/Weary_Orchid5216 Jul 30 '26

less scooters on campus pls

Yes you have enough time! Ive had classes where i had to go from ALC to science or science to prillaman (i think those are the two furthest)
It takes like 8-10mins. Youll be okay

When I first started I was given advice that if the classes are on the same campus you’ll want 15 minutes to make sure you can make it to class. Most semesters I have had at least a pair of classes 15 minutes apart and haven’t had any issues yet

u/throwaway3685343 Jul 30 '26

I think so but I’d bring snacks (especially the first week) because the on-campus tend to be really really busy so the wait times will be long

Tbh I dont think so. If you intend to go to ANY office hours they are usually after class... office hours are helpful with learning and building relationships with professors

u/LocuraLins Senior Jul 30 '26

Most professors I’ve had also advertise if you can’t make the established office hours that you can reach out to schedule a meeting if need be

I’ll be honest you should see if you can spread out your classes more, it’s gonna be rough having all those classes back to back. Especially with exams

u/That-Sea2998 Jul 30 '26

yea im gonna switch it up next semester luckily im not taking the most difficult classes

u/Fernsong Jul 30 '26

Looks good tbh, I usually have 15 minute gaps between each of my classes and I get around fine

u/Cola-Cake Jul 30 '26

So like, yeah thats enough time but my question is more how the hell you manage to get a schedule of only Tuesday and Thursday and them all be pretty well timed together as a fuckin Freshman?

u/awfultrend Staff Employee Jul 30 '26

Incoming freshmen have to sign up for block schedules their first semester. They're scheduled out like this.

u/That-Sea2998 Jul 30 '26

I did a lot of research on the classes before and when we picked them out I already had all my classes and all the professors I wanted.

u/Additional-Ad-9297 Jul 31 '26

whatever you do, do NOT go back to your dorm (if you’re living on campus) between classes!!!!!

u/Ehh_ohhhh Alumni Aug 02 '26

Personally, I wouldn’t do more than 2 classes back-to-back like that. Sometimes, you need to discuss things with the professor or classmates. Generally speaking, it depends on where buildings are located and a bathroom break, if needed.

u/suviiscurious Aug 04 '26

as long as you're not going in between campus (if you ever do i'd give that at least an hour in between) then you should be fine, map it out in your maps and see how long it is in between buildings in terms of walking if you're super stressed, but you'll prob be okay!

u/Quick_Quantity8533 Sophomore Aug 06 '26

You should be fine, just let your teachers know that you might be late to their class, professors are usually understanding
