10 minutes might be a stretch, especially with construction.

I have done a few preliminary possible schedules on schedulizer (I know not the best source, but it has been as up to date as jtf) and most of my classes which are consecutive are about 15-20 minutes apart.

Is this sufficient time for walking between most buildings? When I walked on campus, it seemed like plenty of time, but I don't know about teachers letting out late, etc.

Also, what classes shouldn't I take back to back, because they are generally far away? P.E.s and classes in the Eng. Quad?

Thanks!

15 minutes is about as long as it should take you to get anywhere if you're already on central campus. I had 15 minutes to get from Savage Hall to Morrison and I made it with a few minutes to spare.

If you have a P.E. class in Teagle you 15 minutes is fine...if you have a P.E. in Newman you might want to give yourself more time.

What if it's something close to north campus like Baker Lab to Newman or Teagle?

15 minutes is enough time to go from one place in central campus to another. It used to take me 15mins to walk from Uris to all the way to Vet school but i am a speed walker!

You and me both! I could make it from Baker to the Vet school in about 20 minutes.

While surfing jtf pages, i found some classes i would choose for electives are already filled with a number of students. Classes like "Marx&After" is already half full and half rest is available. Means we can already enroll for classes?

To dewdrop87: I had classes in vet school my entire junior and sernior year! I guess we both saved money by not buying the bus pass.

turtle fever: i think you could make it to bradfield in 10 min. I'm not sure how the construction effects this, but if you go out the back of baker or rockefeller, you can get to tower road more quickly. I used to have to go from Baker to Morrison in 10-15 min and I was always 5 min late and had to sit in the back, but Bradfield is a little closer.

upperclassmen have already enrolled for classes so thats why some are full or half-full.

if you are going to bring a bike, keep in mind that you probably won't be able to use it in the winter (which is cornell's main season). also, campus is far from flat so riding your bike is definitely an exercise to say the least.

Ive decided not to do the baker-bradfield now, ive walked it 4 times yesterday and it took me 15 minutes, which doesnt include snow and coming out of class late sometimes either. So my farthest walk next year will be teagle to uris in 25min, not too bad i think
