<p>Hello there i am a college freshman and am setting up my classes for the spring term. I just wanted to ask if setting up three classes, 75 minutes each from 9:15 am to 1:45 pm on mondays and wednesday is doable?</p>
<p>That depends, are they back to back classes or do you get like a 5-10 break in between them?</p>
<p>It’s doable. This fall semester I have three rigorous and intestive classes in a row from 8:00 AM to 1:45 PM Tuesdays and Thursday. I’m surviving.</p>
<p>I’m imagining OP has 15 minutes between two classes and 30 minutes between the other two.</p>
<p>Make sure you have some place where you can stop by to grab something to eat and 1) Can eat it there or 2) Take it to-go.</p>
<p>I’ll have something like that next semester.</p>
<p>I’ve done it before and it’s doable unless you have trouble sitting and focusing minus a 15 min break to walk inbetween classes. I actually really liked the schedule because once class was out of the way (and since they were back to back it felt quick) I felt like I had sooooo much free time to do homework, study, and socialize!</p>
<p>Of course, it’s doable, but it can suck if you have multiple midterms on the same day. I’ve had five classes in a row before, and four midterms back-to-back. It’s annoying, but sure, it’s possible.</p>
<p>Agreed that it’s doable yet sometimes hard. </p>
<p>Right now I have 3 classes from 8-12 with 2 13-minute breaks, one of which is spent walking across campus. </p>
<p>My biggest issue is actually getting hungry. I eat a good breakfast at 6:30ish, but my stomach ALWAYS starts rumbling around 10, which is right in the middle of French class. I bring some snacks to eat right before class starts (at 9:20), and then I sometimes get a coffee to drink during my next class at 10:40. By noon I’m starving, so I definitely could NOT take more than 3 classes in a row. </p>
<p>As long as you have time to keep yourself fed and watered, you’ll be fine. The fact that you have 3 in a row isn’t so bad intellectually. That’s how it was in high school, right? Didn’t you ever have a few APs back-to-back? You just pay attention in class and give your all, and then you’re done and have more free time on Tu/Th. It really works out quite well. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>That’s how my schedules usually are. As long as you have a 15 minute break between classes it’s not bad. That gives you enough to to stop into the restroom, get something to drink etc, and still make it to class with plenty of time. </p>
<p>Next semester my schedule is gonna be rough. Mondays and Wednesdays are going to be packed. </p>
<p>University Physics I - 8-9:15
Calculus II - 9:30-10:45
General Chemistry II - 11-12:15
General Cultural Anthropology - 1:30-2:45
Then I work in the tutoring lab from 3-5, then
Beginning Spanish II - 6-7:45</p>
<p>Those are gonna be some long days. On the bright side though, Tuesdays I’ll only have my physics lab, and Thursdays I’ll only have calculus and chem lab.</p>
<p>I’m right there with harvestmoon- my issue is being hungry. Which is why I refuse to schedule classes like that. Honestly, I don’t even like having two classes back to back. I had three last semester and ended up dropping one (not solely because it was difficult running across campus twice). If you don’t eat a lot/can survive off snacks, then go for it- but those days when you have a test in each subject (and you’ll probably have at least one day like that) are really going to suck.</p>
<p>^I would bring a sandwich or something and eat during class. As long as your professors aren’t against eating during class, the eating problem shouldn’t be that big of a deal (unless you’re not okay with eating in class or something).</p>
<p>Turns out that I was able to move one of the 3 classes to the next day so now i have 2 classes on Monday and Wednesday and 2 classes on Tuesday and Thursday. That worked out better than i thought haha</p>
<p>Thanks for all the answers through!</p>
<p>Bring snacks and eat them real quick in between, or if the professor doesn’t care, during class. I do that sometimes just to stay awake.</p>
