i have a 4 hour break on thursday. i purposely made it lectures before tutorials for all of the subjects and i could of avoided the 4 hour break if i didnt do that since i made my timetable on the 2nd day after the offer released
From what times do u have a 4 hour break on thursday? Some of my tutorials are inbetween lectures but I spaced it out like that just so that I could have mondays free and finish up before 5pm.:)

I have 4 hour breaks on Tuesday and Thursday, I probably just wont turn up for my lectures thus eliminating my break. If I turn up I usually just bump into someone also having a break though.

i have uni 5 days a week (as much as i tried to find a solution it was impossible to get a day off) and everything is spread quite evenly - i think.

i wanted to avoid having any late classes so the latest i finish is 5pm, and my breaks during the week are all either 1 hour long or 2 hours long.

can anyone say whether it would be possilbe to maintain a job with so little time to spare after uni? if anything i would only be able to work on weekends but where would that leave my time for revision/studying? i'm really keen on earning some money but i don't want it to have too much of a negative impact on my studies.

i live in Riverwood so travelling back home on my 5 hour break is pretty pointless aswell. i might just go and have a shower in the disabled toilet to relax and cool off lol yes?

From the Law Building to the Biological Sciences Building, downhill, takes about 15 minutes at a comfortable walking pace. Uphill is about five minutes extra unless you're fit, which I guess most people aren't. It shouldn't be a problem though, as very few people would have classes in the two extremes of the uni.

I had my timetable with only a one hour break, once a week last term and it was hell. I strongly reccomend that you schedule a break or two into your timetable.

lol i dunno, i went to some seminar thing to help me choose my classes and i was dying to piss so me and my friend walked half way around the uni to look for toilets (meanwhile it cudnt kill them to put up some big signs directing ppl to toilets bcoz it took me like half an hour to find 1 and my bladder was about to explode). anywayz i found 1 in some neglected building but it turned out to be disabled although i couldnt careless. it was quite nice actually lol
