I have some classes that are ten minutes apart, just cause that's the only way they'd fit into my schedule. I was wondering if that's a bad thing? judging by the scale of mac's campus it seems a little crazy to think I could make it from TSH to BSB in 10 minutes.

It's actually quite doable, I've had a few classes where I had to do exactly that, and if I went straight from one to the other I'd usually be a few minutes early.

McMaster's campus is relatively small imo.

BSB is actually an easy place to get to in 10 minutes when coming from TSH. The only tough ones might be Health Science or the JHE from TSH in 10 minutes depending on how fast you walk. le i

TSH to T13 is the only one I don't find doable in 10 minutes.

It helps if you jump on a bus at MUSC and get off at T13. Worked for me last year ;D

I recommend you just take a wak around campus during welcome week to figure out what paths or shortcuts you can take.

10 minutes is definitely more than enough time to go from BSB to TSH, unless you're slow or you spend more than 5 minutes talking to people (or those rare profs that hold up the class).

If your class is from one end of the campus to the other (e.g. ABB to KTH or something), then it gets iffy. You'll have to speedwalk or run, but it's still possible to make it in 10 minutes.

Even easier: get a bike.

LOL are you serious? Unless if the bus is RIGHT there, I wouldn't do that. But yeah, that does work haha. I used to have T-13 to CNH I believe, yeah, I think it was always in the nick of time. You just have to leave class right away and not stop for anything and you should be okay.

Thank you all for the tips! LOL looks like i'm not the only one up at this hour.

Of course Im serious! I didn't get to be fat and lazy by walking when I could be driven. If you cut through MUSC to walk to T13, you have to pass the bus stop anyway. If one happens to be there, it's a sign from god telling you to jump on.

i once had to walk from TSH to ABB in 7 mins (ya prof can go over quite abit sometimes)


Its easy to do but then again i'm a very fast walker.

the 10 min gap between classes is the way that lots of people have it in their schedules and its totally doable.

plus after a few weeks you will realize you dont even go to every class lol..so makes the problem even less.

Also know the exits to the lecture hall your in and sit next to one...if your in a big class getting out after class will take a while if you dont plan your exit strategy

TSH to BSB is easily doable in 10 minutes. TSH to ITB was a bit of a pain, though.

You'll be fine

You know how I know I wont be fine?

I have no idea what KTH BSB T13 LOL WTF those abbreviations mean (well I know the last two...but still)

Can someone shed some light on this for a lonely little freshman

Thos are just the abbreviations for the names of the buildings, you'll get to know them pretty quickly don't worry. KTH is Kenneth Taylor Hall and is in the Arts Quad behind the Students Center. BSB is Burke Science Building and T13 is the Temporary building 13.
All the abbreviations seem scary at first, because there are a lot, but you'll catch on quickly.
