Allow students more time to walk to class when they have back to back classes.


Allow students more time to walk to class when they have back to back classes.
The Issue
Students at the University of Texas should be allowed more time to walk to class. While all classes that are scheduled for a 1.5 hour time frame get out of class 15 minutes before their designated end time, classes with a 1 hour time frame only get out 10 minutes before their designated end time. 10 minutes is not nearly enough time to walk from one side of campus to the other, which is the case for some students. Students are forced to hurry to class, and in the situation that their class is one that is completely filled, they might not even get a seat when they show up. If every class was released 15 minutes before the end of the hour that would ensure that all students who want to get to class early can do so, and will also make sure no other students are late to class because they had to walk all the way across campus.
