<p>If, say hypothetically you took five courses in a semester. Would those classes only meet once a week? Or more? I want to find out if people have about one class a day or many (something like HS), on average.</p>
<p>Most classes meet for 3 hours/week. That can mean 3 times for one hour, two times for 1.5 hours, or once for 3 hours. It really varies. I've had semesters with only two (horrible) days of class, and others with all 5. Plus it depends on what school you're in or even on your major.</p>
<p>you'll be hard pressed to take only one class a day though (and still take 5). esp in freshman year.</p>
<p>yeah, one class a day is not really possible, especially with five classes.</p>
<p>However, having entire days off is possible. I have friends with Tuesdays off, some with Wednesdays, etc. Most Whartonites, including me, are able to work a schedule with Fridays off. I highly advise trying to get Fridays off. It's awesome.</p>
<p>if you're in CAS its really easy to get fridays off also.</p>
<p>For most people the classes all meet 2-3 days a week, adding up to the three hours. But classes with labs throw in another problem due to the extra time and wierd timing. I have classes four days a week, I'm taking 6 credits, 5 classes. I'm a bit different because i'm a soph. in Nursing and i have long "labs" but most of my classes this semester meet 2 days a week for an hour and a half plus a lab in some cases but they are either tues/thurs or mon/wed. I also have 2 that are 3 hours long once a week. There are lots of options but for the most partclasses meet 2-3 times a week, usually M/W/F or T/Th with some exceptions(like mine). You can work it to be more compact or spread out if you want but i personally pick classes and then see which ones fit together.</p>
