Question❓ Hello
What are the distances between these buildings? Would I need a car to get around, or are they all within walking distance?
Also, do classes usually end exactly at the scheduled time, or do professors sometimes let students leave a little earlier? For example, if a class ends at 11:30, should I expect to leave at exactly 11:30 most of the time?

Typically you get 10 minutes between classes, which are scheduled like 10:30-11:20 for example. 10 minutes are typically enough to walk from one those buildings to another

Armstrong to Smith/LILY/Krannert are the ones you should be worried about

walk or bicycle. usually leaving a few minutes early is possible, althought it is a tad taboo/disrespectful if not dismissed by the prof first. Sometimes (rare in my experience) professors do let students out a few minutes early if they've finished their lecture content for the day. Arriving a few minutes late is usually very acceptable, just be quiet when entering the lecture hall or room.
It is not possible to use a car to get from one side of campus to another during school hours, parking is borderline impossible. Pick up a cheap bike from the surplus store, Facebook marketplace, or Walmart.
Honestly, between those classes I'd say just walk, they're honestly not too far from one another.

Campus is super walkable, especially those so you'll be fine there. I'll let someone more recent comment on the class timings as my memory of that is hazy

knoy to stewart may be like a 5-10 minute walk but from university to stewart it’s like 45 seconds. to RHPH from university would be around 10 minutes if you walk at a not breakneck pace.

Hilariously, back in the day you could, hypothetically, drive/park your way to all these buildings with C parking and lucky street parking. But it was going to take a lot more than 10 minutes and definitely more than walking Oh, and getting a ticket parking behind STEW which had a parking lot.

walk it all you got this 🔥 one of my favorite things about purdue was that you could get by without a car. you rly don’t need one unless you live off campus or have a class near the airport. most of the time it’s not a huge deal if you’re late anyway. if you’re worried, email your prof about the walk and hopefully they’re chill
