Need help from board. Thanks in advance

My daughter recently registered for classes for the fall.
She has a class in the Giles Auditorium that ends at 8:50 and then has to be at Hand Lab at 9.

Is this doable?

Yes

It is a 5 minute walk and one of my favorite walks on campus.

Inform her to take the first step with her left foot. Beyond that, just do what comes natural.

Best of luck to her.

Yes I can read a map. That's why I asked. Its over half a mile in a straight line.

 

[Col. Forbin]

Get her a bike. Nowhere on campus would take more than 3-5 minutes.

You probably should have tried harder ... there are very few circumstances where it's OK to be rude. They guy just asked a question.

For the OP, I had plenty of classes with just 10 minutes between, and a long distance to go. Somehow I always made it. They're young and can move faster than us advanced-agers.

No. She will hate that walk by the 3rd week and say screw it - I'm skipping Chemistry.

I did it on Tuesday/Thursday classes where you had 15 minutes but I was going the other way from the drill field to Giles for Art Appreciation. I skipped Art Appreciation a lot.

 

[moneydawgs]

She won't get to class early by any means but 10 minutes is plenty of time

 

[Maroon Eagle]

It's doable. She'll need an aisle seat and to sit near the top though. I once had a class at Giles that ended at 10:45 and had to be at McComas at 11.

That said, if the professor at Giles tends to be someone who likes to talk (e.g., the late Jay Keehley who taught that class there), then maybe your daughter should let the prof know about her schedule especially if she has a test in the class at Hand. Oh yeah, a bike would definitely be recommended too.

I'd personally be more worried about getting to the 8am class than the 9....

This...

All classes should start at 9am..

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

When I had problems like that what I did was just try it out for the first few days. You have around a week before the add/drop deadline so if it doesn't work outshe could just change her schedule. Also if the professor for the first class is ok with ot sometimes they give students special permission to leave a few minutes early.

 

[AFDawg]

Jay Keehley! He was magnificent.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Just going off your internet celebrity reputation, she's can probably move a little quicker than you **

 

[Bulldogg31]

Jay Keehley! He was magnificent.

nope.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Jay Keehley! He was magnificent.

nope.

I would have appreciated Keehley a lot more at the time had I not been taking 20 hours of classes that semester. That said, I was grateful to him for letting me leave his class a couple times early so I could get to McComas in time to for exams in my 11 am class. Brilliant man, by far the most enjoyable class I ever had at MSU where I made a C.

Yeah, it's obvious you skipped Art Appreciation ....

This...

Back in the dinosaur days when I was there, 7 a.m. classes weren't unusual. And we also had Saturday classes. TThS. Had a 5-hour calculus class at 7 a.m., and it you're weren't there on time the door was locked.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I didn't have it that bad but doing a double major and trying to graduate quickly made for an 8 o'clock class every semester including summer.

Upside was I had no problem finding a parking place.

 

[dawgstudent]

I have quick feet

I'll one up you. I had an 8 oclock class every day of my college career except the TTH of my summer semester. Add to that one 7:00 AM class from... wait for it... the late, great Jay Keehley! The man loved students as much as his sports teams - and he wasn't afraid to talk about it. And then talk about it aGAIN.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

My Dynamics and Heat Transfer classes were at 7 am, those were terrible.

 

[Miketice]

Jackass much?

Rhetorical question

 

[aerodawg.sixpack]

10 Minutes is plenty of time to get from any part of the main campus to the opposite side. I used to have a class in Allen Hall before coming all the way back to Griffis Dorms in 10 mins and it was never a struggle. Just walk, don't use the buses if time is a constraint.
