How long does it take you to travel to uni? (1 Viewer)

[Squar3root]

You're joking right?

I typed in MATH1131, MATH1081, COMP1917 and ENGG1000 in the calculator (rectangles?) a week ago (standard/core compsci subjects) and the best it could do was four days :/

the subjects I did in semester 1 were ENGG1000, COMP1911, MATH1141 and PHYS1121 and I got 3 days

Nvm, I think it's Bojangles stuffing up which just gave me 5 days for your subjects.

Why'd you pick COMP1911 instead of COMP1917?

Also, it's probably going to take me 90mins to get to uni (just to keep this thread on track).

2.5 hours to get from the upper Blue Mountains to Macquarie. Last year sem 1 had me in 2-3 days a week, and sem 2 I only had 1 day a week. So it's been ok so far.

I'd like to say that I knocked out some study on the train so that I had less to do when I got home... but mostly I spent the time sleeping, listening to music, or watching movies on my laptop. But the extra time in the morning was convenient when I needed to cram in some last-minute tute readings I forgot about. However, towards the end of semester I found it more helpful to treat the commute as guilt-free resting time, because it's too difficult to study on the train.

No he means 3 days as in skip all lectures and only attend 12 contact hours per week.

I usually take train and bus time as rest time. Does me well in the afternoons. However in the mornings I tend to do a lot of reading on the train.

15 main outside of peak and 30 or so during.

Add a 10 minute walk to the bus stop and its pretty good!

One of a few who actually like getting to Macquarie.

 

[cormacshaw]

1 hour and some change with pub transport.

 

[clementine101]

5 minute walk through the back of the uni. If I was extremely lazy, it would be a 5 minute drive to the main car park. If that

 

[Queenroot]

1.5 hrs

 

[Squar3root]
