<p>Did he hack into the school's grading system?</p>

<p>Wow 178 hours of free time a week. Amazing</p>
<p>no he didint hack in and i hit 7 instead of 6.</p>
<p>haha, i have an exact opposite story of what Zorz told. My friend's sister went to Stanford, and she said that while she was there, she met a friend who was an absolute genius. A few months into the school year, her friend gets hooked onto WoW, stops going to classes, and eventually flunks out.</p>
<p>After I subtract sleeping, eating, shower, class time, work, club meetings, and studying...I probably have a few hours a day during the week free to be online, watch tv, etc. Weekends, it averages half my waking hours I'm not doing homework or projects.</p>
<p>instead of how many hours a week...how many hours a day do u guys spend on engineering work?</p>
<p>Maybe an hour, two max..on a hard day >.<</p>
<p>your lying, that is impossible.</p>
<p>Hour or two sounds about right.</p>
<p>Calm down Zorz, we all don't go to schools worthy of your respect.</p>
<p>what do you mean, I dont go to a top school and I get about 12 hours of solid work a day.</p>
<p>Zorz, most people can do the work in less time. If it takes you that long then props on the determination.</p>
<p>every engineering student I know at a wide range of schools get ariund 8-10 hours a day. I know most of these people from hs and I know guys at columbia who get 3.8's but that comes with studying around 15 solid hours a day.</p>
<p>I think it is foolish to say you study 2 hours a day. If you are then your school sucks and you arent going to be succesful.</p>
<p>Zorz, I'm not sure what it is, but it's become pretty obvious that you get off on "bragging" about how hard "your school" is and how much work you do and how few A's and B's professors give. It's hard to tell over the internet if you are even telling the truth, but I have plenty of friends at top and not-so-top schools, and no one spends 15 hours a day studying. In any major. I don't know a single person here that does that nor could I possibly imagine meeting someone like that. </p>
<p>Maybe you could just outline your typical day? What the hell could you possibly spend 105 hours a week on in terms of school work? What books do you use, for, say, your differential equations class (or did you if you took that)? And what problems in that book did you do, when, etc.</p>
<p>People learn the same thing at many different schools. You won't even say what school you go to, and that's OK, but just give us a little insight into these mounds of work you speak of. Ease our minds. I don't even think there are, for example, investment bankers that work 105-hour weeks, on average (or who would), and they'd be doing it for $150k+ a year. You, meanwhile, are presumably paying at least something to do all this.</p>
<p>15 hours a day is not out of the ordinary for some people during the end of semesters, but is definitely not the norm for most of the year. Sometimes you'll do no work in a day and sometimes you do 20 hours of it; just depends on the time of year and when your finals and project deadlines are.</p>
<p>Il get back to this tommrow, I dont have the time, I have a final tommrow. But wen I worked at circuit city sales managers work about 110 hrs a week and get paid 55k. its not that many hours,</p>
<p>It always amazed me how some people like to make you think they work day and night to get their grades while others will try to make you think they don't study at all and can get great gpa's. I don't know why people always feel the need to disguise the amount of effort they put in. I am not speaking about zorz here, because, like ameechee said, he has other motives, but just in general...</p>
<p>And zorz, I know about 10 kids in columbia engineering (an aspiring one myself) and none of them study 15 hours a day.</p>
<p>Zorz, I know a triple major (EE, physics, math) and he doesn't work 15 hours a day, not even close to that amount. You're just being really unreasonable. Maybe you just overkill.</p>
<p>The rule of thumb is that for an average student, you need to spend three times of credit hours per week in course work. For example, if your chemistry is a 3 credits course, then each week you need to spend 3 hours in class and 6 hours outside class for the course. If you take 15 credits, then after go to class, you need to study 30 hours a week.</p>
<p>15 hrs a week? Ridiculous. You are either crazy or lying, or both.</p>
<p>No one studies 15 hours per day on a regular basis. Zorz is desperate for attention, I guess.</p>
