<p>"It's midnight. Do you know where your students are?</p>
<p>Well, they're in class.</p>
<p>A handful of colleges across the USA are offering 'midnight classes' that cater to the schedules of students with children, inflexible jobs or just a yen to stay up all night. On overburdened campuses, the late-late classes have the chance to use space that's booked during conventional hours.</p>
<p>Midnight classes are still a relative rarity but are growing in popularity among community colleges, which are geared toward working students. Many of those colleges have ballooning enrollments and overbooked traditional night and weekend classes ..."</p>
<p>I wonder if the professors get shift-differential pay.</p>
<p>Colleges</a> start offering 'midnight classes' for offbeat needs ? USATODAY.com</p>
<p>This seems to be mostly community colleges which are catering to people who are often working during the day, so not really that surprising.</p>
<p>I would totally take midnight classes if they were available. I am a night person, but I have to get up for really early classes so that I can still work during the day. I would much rather sleep in, go to class, and then take midnight classes. I’ve had a few night classes and I always do so much better in them than in morning classes.</p>
<p>I would LOVE to take classes at midnight. So far, it seems to be that the later in the day the class is, the better I do.</p>
<p>As much as I would think that I’d love this, having a class at 5:00 p.m. this semester as the only class that day has completely screwed up my sleep schedule. I’d prefer to take regularly scheduled classes were this option even available since this would likely only make matters worse for me in that regard.</p>
<p>I hope my college doesn’t start offering these, because I’d be tempted to take them and mess myself up even worse than I already do.</p>

<p>I really feel sorry for those people…</p>
