College vs HS Hours

<p>She goes to Louisiana Tech according to her profile.</p>

<p>I always thought she went to UT-Austin.</p>

<p>Nope, not UT Austin. The only Texas school I applied to was A&M...and then LA Tech and Illinois Institute of Technology (this one was just out of curiousity...it was a free app, so I figured 'why not?')</p>

<p>Not many folks realize how strong Tech is in engineering. Our president is a Biomedical Engineer...so yeah...it's a strong focus of the university and there are actually some pretty cool things happening with it. </p>

<p>They do a lot of experimentation with the Freshman Honors Engineering students, as well. I've heard from older students that we (I guess I'm not a part of the we anymore, though) get to do some stuff that they didn't get to see or do until their Junior year. Basically, if they decide that the new stuff we did worked well, they do it for all of the new folks coming up (including the regular classes) and add on some for the new Honors kids to see how that goes...so it's continuously getting better.</p>

<p>Hey I'm going to Rocky Top next year!Go Vols!!!</p>

<p>It all depends..</p>

<p>If you go to a school with not a lot of classes but a lot of students expect your schedule to be scattered since you will have to grab what you can get.</p>

<p>If you have job then you will also have a very screwy schedule </p>

<p>If you are taking Quantative Physics expect to study and have more homework then some one who is taking Tennis.</p>

<p>If you have a difficult teacher expect to do more work then someone who doesnt.</p>

<p>If you are majoring in Engineering expect your classes to be more difficult then someone who is majoring in Liberal Arts.</p>

<p>It all depends on the particular class how much you will have to study outside of class. All that stuff about 3 hours for every 1 hour you are in class is bull. For my English/social science classes, I spend an obscene amount of time reading. I take notes on my reading as a study tool, which is super effective but painfully time consuming. However, for math/science classes, you will have homework assignments and you will have to study hardcore for exams but from my limited experience they take a lot less time outside of class. You will figure it out within the first couple weeks of classes and schedule your time accordingly. </p>

<p>But to answer your question - I definitely spend more time on schoolwork now than I did in high school. I took AP classes in high school. Also, I am at a public university. I think part of it that you have time during the day to work on assignments, but in college class is just lecture and you are expected to do certain things outside of class or you will definitely fail.</p>

<p>To repeat everyone else: it depends on your major and what classes you take. You could decide to take more or less...it varies a lot from person to person. I have classes for 8 hours on MWTh, and 4-5 hours on TF. So I will second the person above that 3 hours for 1 hour is pretty BS. I don't even have enough time in the day for that. 1 hour for 1 hour or maybe 2 hours for 1 hour if it's a hard class seems more realistic to me.</p>

<p>mw i have 935-1130 and 2-345
f i have 935-1040 and 2-345</p>

<p>t and th i have 11-1215 and 345-5</p>

<p>i typically have to study 3 hours for every hour im in class.</p>
