    Timetabling is often an issue at the uni, specifically to do with late lectures. As the evenings draw darker, it can be daunting to use public transport late at night, as well as the dip in energy levels of finishing at 8pm. This can also be a strain to Lecturers teaching at this time. It should therefore be considered by the university to reduce the 9am to 9pm schedule to an earlier finish time where possible.
