<p>As a first or second year, how many hours of homework do you have a night at uchicago?
If it helps, I will be taking minimal math classes as a humanities major. (Phychology maybe)
I am asking because I'd like to intern at a local radio station, and I'm nervous that I won't be able to balance copious amounts of schoolwork and an internship (especially since I will be playing a varsity sport as well)
Is balancing all of this possible?</p>
<p>hmm anyone?</p>
<p>Honestly, choosing whether to attend a school based on how much homework there is is not a good idea.</p>
<p>There actually is minimal “homework”. What every individual decides here is how much they need to study and that varies wildly between individuals. The main focus is on exams or papers and one can spend as much or as little time as they want on them.</p>
<p>The amount of time spent on your work is something you should ask yourself. Relative to your classmates, did you spend more or less time on schoolwork? That’ll answer your question since time spent on homework is all relative as it is here.</p>
<p>Copious is too highbrow a term. scale it down</p>
<p>Yes it’s possible. Just don’t expect a lot of free time.</p>
<p>There is no blanket answer to this question.</p>
<p>Can you spend ~10 hours/week on schoolwork, attend half of your classes (~6 hours) and get by? Sure. Are there people that take 4 honors/grad classes at the same time while auditing two classes and spend 100+ hours / week on schoolwork? Yep.</p>
<p>Somewhere in the middle lies the vast majority of students.</p>
<p>You place priorities where you want to place them and make it work.</p>
<p>You’ll be going to class for about 15 hours/wk as opposed to 35 hours/wk in high school. That’s 20 “extra” hours right there that, well managed, can put you into the vast majority of students as -CS says.</p>
