I am currently writing an essay and this paragraph is bothering me since I am not good with tenses.
The daily experience for students in this program was quite unique. For me, it required an hour long commute to the GMU campus in the morning. Afterward, I had two classes that were each two hours long. At around 11:15 am, I then got transported to my base school (also another hour-long commute), where I took my last class for the day.
It feels weird to say both “At around 11:15 am” AND “then”
Change “got transported” to “was transported”… also consider changing that to active voice (“the school/buses then transported me…”) instead of the passive voice you have now
There are other things I could say but I focused on the tense/timing stuff you asked about. Hope I helped!
EDIT: Come to think of it, since the whole thing seems to be describing a daily activity repeated again and again, perhaps the tense should be more like “I would have two classes” and “At around 11:15 am, I would then be transported…” but I’m not sure.
EDIT2: I looked it up and the tense you used originally (past simple) and the “would” I mentioned are both correct.
