<p>Many colleges let your schedule classes so that you can sleep in, and be able to go out 4 times a week, crazy things like that.</p>
<p>Which TOP colleges would let you set something up like this?</p>
<p>I know you can do this at Duke because I hear it from others, but what about Stanford or the Ivies?</p>
<p>God. If this will ultimately decide your college choice then you really have your priorities in the wrong order. It depends which classes you take; if you wanted to it would probably be possible to take classes starting at noon or in the afternoon at every college.</p>

<p>Relax, I’m a morning person and I run for an hour every day at around 6AM. I was just curious as to the scope of this practice in top colleges, and just which ones make it possible. Just an innocent question, I promise… sheesh.</p>
<p>Any college with an open curriculum where you have maximum freedom to design your schedule.</p>
<p>Probably almost any school. I feel like it might be easier at bigger schools, where some classes have many different sections so you can pick the latest ones. I’m going to Penn and I’ve found that I can schedule a lot of late classes. There’s a lot of freedom because there are just so many course offerings, and so many different courses to choose from to fulfill one requirement, etc.</p>
<p>I also made mock schedule with class on only two days, although that forced me to use the mornings for classes. It was kind of awesome. Really, I bet at any top school you can finagle your way into having an awesome schedule. But don’t let that dictate your college or class choices too much, because I feel like it doesn’t really make that huge of a difference. And it’s possible to become a morning person where necessary, too.</p>
<p>Dude…you will not be able to go out and party 4 nights a week if you are at a top 20 school.</p>
<p>Depends on your major. If you’re an engineer, physicist, mathematician, etc at any school, you probably won’t be able to get a sleep in schedule. If you’re a business, arts, etc major, a lot more schools.</p>
<p>You can design a comfy schedule to fit your desired major at any big university, but you may not get to take the coolest classes.</p>
<p>And most of my math/engineering friends at Stanford/Duke only work 20 hours a week including classes. I dont know how early they wake up, but they by no means pulling their hair out and are in the top 10% of their major.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I know better understand how college schedules work</p>
