Is there a passing time between classes?

<p>Many universities either end classes 10 minutes "early" or start classes 10 minutes "late" compared to the times in the schedule so that students have time to move between back-to-back classes? Does Northwestern have this passing time?</p>

<p>Yes. Course blocks are scheduled in 50 minute, 80 minute, or 230 minute blocks (1 hr, 1.5 hr, and 3 hr), the vast majority of the time. So a 10am class ends at 10:50, and the next set of classes will begin at 11.</p>

<p>But courses might end at 12:20 and the next course might start at 1, depending on your schedule.</p>

<p>Yep, always 10 minutes between classes. My kid has had classes all over campus and says that he can always make it on time. For example, a couple of days a week he has one class from 11-12:20 and the next one from 12:30-1:50.</p>

<p>10 minutes is often tough to get from north to south, but it’s doable-ish. But yes, there’s always enough time</p>
