are my classes scheduled too closely?

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>One day, I will have 15 minutes between a lecture in Meyer Hall and 194 Mercer Street</p>

<p>On another day, I will have 15 minutes between a class at 145 Fourth Avenue and the Silver Center.</p>

<p>Are these reasonable distances given the time?</p>

<p>meyer hall to mercer is doable.</p>

<p>power walking from 145 4th ave to silver will take 10 minutes. whether you arrive within the next 5 minutes depends on the elevator situation… which usually sucks. unless you’re on a lower floor in silver and you can walk up.</p>

<p>so I shouldn’t talk to my advisor about possibly switching classes around ?</p>

<p>It’s totally doable, Meyer to Mercer is easy and I’ve done 4th ave/Silver, you’ll have to walk fast but it works. If walking in slightly late is a problem, just tell your professor (privately, after class) that you’re coming from Union Sq. Also, don’t take the elevators in Silver, take the Waverly ones instead (the buildings are connected), for some reason everyone’s a moron and will wait 1 hr in line for Silver while Waverly barely has any lines. Here is a map of NYU, Silver is 31, 145 4th is 4, Mercer is 64 and Meyer is 33 or 40. You can magnifiy it by clicking btw. <a href=“http://www.procams.org/procams2006/assets/images/NYU_annotated.jpg[/url]”>http://www.procams.org/procams2006/assets/images/NYU_annotated.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, you don’t need to talk to your advisor about switching classes - your advisor approves the classes you’re taking, but if you go on Albert, go to the Register tab, you can add/drop a course by yourself, you just need the course #.</p>

<p>I personally like having classes scheduled closely, and in the morning. That way I’m done by noon and have the rest of the day to work/chill, whereas when I have a late class i just sleep in and waste the whole day.</p>

<p>145 4th Ave to Silver is really not that bad. I was really worried about it, so I ended up walking really quickly and still got there with 5 minutes to spare. </p>

<p>It really depends what floor of Silver you’re in, however. I was on the 5th floor, so walking wasn’t really a problem. 2 through 5 you should be good to walk up the stairs. It might be tougher from 6 and up because you’ll prob want to take the elevator. </p>

<p>And Alix2012’s advice is great. Take Waverly elevators. Those in Silver are always ridiculously crowded.</p>

6

<p>i know that if people take the elevators to the 3rd or 4th floor during “rush hour”, everyone thinks that person is an idiot. don’t be that idiot.</p>

7

<p>my schedule is like that too except I have to go from Silver to 145 F, so I should be able to make it in time? What about during the winter?
Would using the trolleys be faster?
And someone said to use the Waverly elevators, so is the Waverly Building and the Silver Center connected?</p>

8

<p>by the way, my room in the Silver Center is 505, so I’m assuming that’s the 5th floor.</p>

9

<p>the trolleys don’t run as often as you might think. i know for route B (campus to Broome/Lafayette) they were 20 minutes apart. route A (which USED to be water street) was less than 20 minutes. </p>

<p>they’ll put up an updated trolley schedule on the public safety site as it gets closer to august.</p>

10

<p>Yeah you should be fine. Silver to 145th Fourth Ave is easier than the other way around.</p>

11

<p>you should leave room to speak with your professors (just in case) and for weather conditions (that will slow you down). being late in okay in college but i saw one professor got ****ed off when someone came in late and distracted his lecture. he made a big point about students looking at the late person when they should look at him lecturing lol</p>

12

<p>I have one class from Silver to another in the Tisch building at 721 Broadway in 15 minutes. Is it at all doable?</p>

13

<p>if you plan to not rest after having one long class, then it’s okay. just don’t be too hard on yourself, it’s more stressful than it seems to be unless the class is very very easy</p>

14

<p>Do the professors keep track of the number of times you are tardy?</p>

15

<p>no, not like in high school, but it’s a pain to have to arrive late and search for a seat in a crowded lecture hall.</p>

16

<p>@AbbyP</p>

<p>You can make that walk in about three minutes, five if you feel like strolling.</p>

17

<p>Can I make it from 25W4 room C-8 to SILV room 414 in 10 minutes?</p>

<p>Also this would mean taking a class from 4:55-6:10 and then one from 6:20-8:10. Would this be bad?</p>

<p>^ That’s a 5 min walk…guys, stop worrying about enough time for walking from class to class; even though NYU has no campus, the buildings are all close together, look at that map I posted. This site [NYU</a> > University Registrar > Registration > Building Code Key](<a href=“Class Registration, Transcripts, Graduation”>Class Registration, Transcripts, Graduation) has a list of every NYU building and their abbreviations, look at it if you’re not sure where your class is. You’ll get a map during orientation, plus there will be one on the back of your NYU planner. Basically all the buildings will be close to Washington Sq park.</p>

19

<p>yes but still, "this would mean taking a class from 4:55-6:10 and then one from 6:20-8:10. Would this be bad? "</p>

<p>We can’t really answer that for you, lt.milo, since it depends on whether or not you think you can spend 3 hours and 5 minutes in class and whether or not you’re a night person. Me, I had a semester where I had four classes back-to-back for about 5 hours of total in-class time with only those 15-minute breaks to run from one to the other, but I knew beforehand that I could handle it, and I did just fine.</p>
