Do you think 3 hours is a long gap between classes at college?

Question

how can I fill in this time...working out, eating, going on my laptop?

whats the longest class gap you ever had?

Answer 1

That is a pretty long gap. I usually have pretty long gaps and I love them. I have had a 6 hour gap before. If your break is long enough, you could try getting an on campus job. They usually don't require too much work, so you could actually get paid for doing relatively nothing. During some of my shorter breaks, I usually just hung out with friends. We would get lunch and then do some homework or studying. My school actually had a movie theater on campus, so sometimes I would catch a movie. Every once in a while I would go to the gym and do a little running.

Enjoy your gap!!

Answer 2

If you are a full time student, I think the 3 hour gap can be a great opportunity to start projects, research, home work, actually read assignments before class, etc and grab a bite to eat.
I've had a 6 hour gap before and I would usually come home to watch TV, browse on line, or look over my syllabus and get ahead on my readings and assignments.

Answer 3

Depends. Are you living on campus or off?

If you're on-campus, I'd tell you to head back to your dorm and take a nap. When you're at college, sleep is a precious commodity!! Spend an hour and a half napping and an hour and a half studying!

If you're not staying on campus, I'd head to a quiet place like the library or the commons, etc, and have a study fest. Read up and/or finish any homework for your next class. Study for any tests you've got coming up. If you can hop on your laptop and type up any notes for class, that might not be a bad plan!!

Answer 4

While I wouldn't want that long a break between classes, it's not overly long either. I know of students who have longer breaks, so it really depends on how you use your time. Perhaps you can do some studying, work on assignments, get a bite to eat, relax, have a little fun, or work out. Either way, I would say there's no excuse for your not getting your work done if you have 3 hours free to devote to it.

Answer 5

This really depends on your own energy levels and effectivity. For example, I'm sharpest in the early morning (curses!), and in the mid-afternoon to early-evening, I hit my major slump; all I want to do at that time is nap and eat. I can sit through a class during that time, if I have snacks and coffee at hand, but I cannot study or otherwise use my time wisely at that point.

I'd recommend using the time, if you can, to study, pay bills, harass your advisors, et al, if you can; that way, you'll sleep better at night, knowing that you've taken care of all of the stupid crap.

Oh, and please don't work out before class, if you don't have the time to shower -- believe me, the smell is horrible. As a college instructor, I get positively vomitous if a student smells bad, esp. if I'm assigned to a room without windows that can open. I'm sure that your classmates would thank you, too.

Answer 6

my longest gap was 5 hours. I personally used work basis. That between mon - fri 9-5 was study/uni/research time. Evenings and weekends were then my own.

good luck

Answer 7

I've had gaps that long before. I use them for eating, doing homework, and occasionally napping. I don't live on campus, but my house is fairly close, so I usually come home and get grub, then do my homework that is due for my next class.

Answer 8

I think it's to loong, 45min maybe 1 hours or so. It just creats more of a distruction. You can't either study or concentrate on studying, because you're to focused on going to the next class in 2:55 min.
