<p>Hi. I registered for a rock climbing class that I’d like to take this spring. But I have a math class 40 minutes after the rock climbing class ends. That is…my rock climbing class starts at 8:00A and ends at 9:30P, and my matrices class starts at 10:10A and ends at 11:00A. I don’t want to switch my matrices class, because the section that I am in has 35 students and the other sections all have 52 students (smaller class here). All the other rock climbing classes are filled.</p>

<p>So basically, my question is this: Is there a bus that runs from State College YMCA (place where my rock climbing class is located) to campus? The distance from the YMCA to Boucke building is 3.7 miles (approx. 9 min. by car). I doubt I can run that in 40 minutes. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.</p>

<p>No experience with the current buses but just from the CATA site, looks like the bus does run that way and that you would want the R route:

but from the schedule it looks like it will be tight

but at least you have the info. Too bad they do not have a rock climbing wall on campus.</p>

<p>Yeah…for such a large campus, they should build an outdoor rock climbing place. Would it be better to bike the 3.7 miles?</p>

<p>Won’t it be winter…you know, snow? I think you are pushing it time-wise. If you have transportation difficulty, you will always be worried about being on late for Matrices, stressed for exam days, etc. I’d just pick a different gym class for now and climb rocks later.</p>

<p>I decided to switch my Matrices class to a different time, because a lot of the other gym classes are filled.</p>

<p>Problem solved! :)</p>
