i have a 4 hour break on thursday. i purposely made it lectures before tutorials for all of the subjects and i could of avoided the 4 hour break if i didnt do that since i made my timetable on the 2nd day after the offer released
From what times do u have a 4 hour break on thursday? Some of my tutorials are inbetween lectures but I spaced it out like that just so that I could have mondays free and finish up before 5pm.:)

I have 4 hour breaks on Tuesday and Thursday, I probably just wont turn up for my lectures thus eliminating my break. If I turn up I usually just bump into someone also having a break though.

i have uni 5 days a week (as much as i tried to find a solution it was impossible to get a day off) and everything is spread quite evenly - i think.

i wanted to avoid having any late classes so the latest i finish is 5pm, and my breaks during the week are all either 1 hour long or 2 hours long.

can anyone say whether it would be possilbe to maintain a job with so little time to spare after uni? if anything i would only be able to work on weekends but where would that leave my time for revision/studying? i'm really keen on earning some money but i don't want it to have too much of a negative impact on my studies.

i live in Riverwood so travelling back home on my 5 hour break is pretty pointless aswell. i might just go and have a shower in the disabled toilet to relax and cool off lol yes?

From the Law Building to the Biological Sciences Building, downhill, takes about 15 minutes at a comfortable walking pace. Uphill is about five minutes extra unless you're fit, which I guess most people aren't. It shouldn't be a problem though, as very few people would have classes in the two extremes of the uni.

I had my timetable with only a one hour break, once a week last term and it was hell. I strongly reccomend that you schedule a break or two into your timetable.
