<p>In other words, how much time do you <em>not</em> spend in class or studying?</p>
<p>Also, your major would be helpful. Credit hours would be even better.</p>
<p>McCombs - 14 hours, inv banking internship, tech start up = 2 hrs free time on weekdays and maybe one day on the weekend that I have free.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply and, if I may say, you are quite accomplished. :)</p>
<p>this is probably not typical but I would estimate I have about 10 hours a day of free time on average. I sleep for about 6-8 hours and class+studying takes another 6 hours so that leaves me with around 10 hours a day (give or take) to do what I want.</p>
<p>But keep in mind I am a freshman only taking 13 hours with easy classes who has poor study habits</p>
<p>16 credit hours freshman
1-2 hours of free time before I sleep
1 hour for food
GPA (est): 3.81</p>
<p>16 credit hour Sophomore/Junior
1 hours for food the rest are spent studying/doing HW.
Engineering major. Barely 4 hours of sleep.</p>
<p>16 hour freshman, English major. I’d say on average, I usually have about three hours of free time a day - but honestly, it varies. Towards the beginning of the semester I had as much as five hours open, but lately I’ve been lucky to have <em>any</em> time off that doesn’t involve sleeping or eating.</p>
<p>I realize some majors require a ton more work than others, but nearly everyone’s study methods could use some streamlining. I highly recommend this book to help you create more free time in your day while maintaining high grades…</p>

<p>Don’t take me as an example because I don’t have the work ethic to follow that book but I have heard some amazing success stories from using its strategies and the author interviewed hundreds of ivy league 4.0 students to compile this book of the most effective methods</p>
<p>Loving the replies. Very helpful because I’m planning out my course-load for next semester as an incoming freshman for the spring semester.</p>
<p>First semester freshman in EE. 14 credit hours that’s realistically 20 hours with labs and TA sessions. I haven’t been pressed for time, but I haven’t been studying as much as I should be either. Although I don’t know any other freshmen who are just constantly studying/in class. I’m sure it gets harder :/</p>
<p>I think freshman year was hardest for me. It got easier after that! I was an engineering major, also.</p>
