Back to back courses and time frame
I was just wondering for those of you that have back to back courses, how was it? And did you have any difficulty getting from one place to another? I'm making my mock timetable and one of my courses looks kind of far from my other one that is back to back on the map.

In first year i had a class in TSH and the one right after it was in ETB. So every time i had a question i used to ask the prof before the class started. It's not too bad to be honest, but your time is limited especially if you wanna take a washroom break in between the classes

You will get used to it eventually. Sometimes the scheduling just sucks and you have to adapt.

well, you have approximately 10 minutes between classes. You may be late to your class the first week or so, but once you get the hang of things, you should be fine. Yeah, washroom breaks suck, especially if it's 20 minutes past the hour and the only washroom in your route is the student centre one (with only 3 stalls and 10 girls lined up to go in..)

It really wasn't that bad, especially if they're just 50 minute classes. You just have to walk briskly.

I had 4 back to back first year and I really wouldn't recommend that.
If it's only one or two, I've never had any issues doing that. Just pack snacks to eat in class!

There is another HUGE bathroom just around the corner from that one - turn right at Titles/Campus Store, go through the doors and turn right again.

2-3 back-to-back is usually do-able, but 4-5 may be pushing it depending on your ability to concentrate and whatnot. Also, try to have a snack with you in case you get hungry, especially if you have 3+ back-to-back classes.
