<p>I get what you’re saying about motivation, but if you have to go from one side of campus to the other to get there in 10 minutes, wouldn’t that affect your motivation to go for the “last” part of the class since you already missed 10 minutes anyway. Plus, when it’s 10 below, it sucks to go cross-campus no matter what time of day it is. I do see your courseload argument though, but that would apply in freshman year to cushion the high school to college transition jolt that many people experience as much as lightening your load in senior year. By then you’re a scheduling pro, and used to the grind of classes. I guess it’s 6 of one compared to a half dozen of another as far as when to take the blowoff courses.
