<p>A W&M alum from the 80's told me that when he was there, classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays were all one hour (50 minutes) and those on Tuesdays and Thursdays were longer. Is this still true?</p>
<p>I assume… (it was when I was there from 04-08)</p>
<p>most colleges do 50 minutes 3x per week or 75/80 minutes 2x per week</p>
<p>there are some mon/wed classes that are 75/80 minutes, but they don’t meet on fridays</p>
<p>they do this so the time you spend in a class that meets tues/thurs is the same as the time you would spend in a class that meets mon/wed/fri</p>
<p>When you look at the class schedule online it will tell you how long each class is but yes, generally are 50 minutes if they meet 3 days a week and 80 minutes if they meet twice a week</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the response. I wasn’t expecting to hear from Admissions. My son will be there this fall!</p>
