Salutations,
I’m first year new meat at UofT, and I have a couple courses that are back to back, ie: one ends at 2pm, the next starts at 2pm. Do professors mind if we dip about ten minutes early, or I guess arrive ten minutes late to their classes? I tried with all the power invested in me to not end up with these situations, but alas, there was no way around it to fit my schedule. I swear I’ll sprint/bike as fast as I can, but I won’t be on time for some classes – especially when graced with ten feet of snow.
A thousand in-advance thanks!

Ooh, fresh meat! Love it.
Everyone worries about the same problem you do. That’s why all classes actually start at the 10 minute mark at every hour to allot for travel time. Therefore if you have a lecture at 2, it won’t actually start until 2:10 PM. Definitely get a bike anyways, they’re a travel necessity in the city and way cheaper than getting a metro pass. In the winter it’s a little bit harder to not only get motivated to GO to class, but go between them. Get the warmest, coolest boots you can find – I recommend these.
Good luck getting around.
