i'm at uni 5 days a week this semester, but not full on days. for instance on fridays i only have to go for maths from 3-5pm (which kinda sucks, but noone in their right mind would WANT that tute!!) this is the only disadvantage of being a small uni.
i found that driving there cuts out a lot of time wasting... i can catch a train to strathfield (at least 50 mins) and walk up to the uni (20 mins) but then there's also walking from my house to the station (about 20 mins all up). so that's 1 1/2 hours. but driving only takes me 45 mins-1 hour so i save quite a bit of time.
you have the opportunity to swap tutorial times if you can find someone to swap with, or you can show up and pray that there's an empty spot.
i'll just stick to my timetable for this semester and hope that i'll get my turn next semester
(we also do 5 subjects so maybe when we go down to 4 we'll have more people getting a day off.
