What’s your major? And how much time do you spend in class + studying + homework/projects each week?

Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB)

I will average my total time at the University as opposed to this semester as it really varies by semester, but I’d say 3-4 hours a day in class. Homework/projects maybe like 2-3 hours. Now studying is a fair amount for me lol. I’m a bit of a try hard in school so I’d say maybe like 2-4 hours a day? Extracurriculars has varied semester to semester, and this semester is the most I’ve been invested in. I’d say maybe ~4 hours a day for things outside of school (research, shadowing, volunteering, clubs, events, etc.)

It seems kind of hectic on a daily basis, but there is definitely still time to have fun at parties/go to dinner w/ friends/have a girlfriend, etc. even with this lifestyle.

2nd year Econ major, 3.6 GPA.

I usually average 2 hours of homework a night and zero studying. I do all my studying the weekend or day before an exam. It all depends on the class.

Most of my classes don’t have projects, but in the past it has been between 2 hours and 50 hours depending on the class, whether or not it was a group project, how much of my final grade it consisted of, etc.

For sociology projects for example, they were usually under 3 hours.

For EECS projects, they were almost always between 10-80 hours.

Time in class depends on my courses. Last semester I had Stats 250, French 231, EECS 183, and Sociology 102, and I only actually went to class for French, so I was in class for a total of 4 hours a week.

This semester I have French 232, Econ 102, BioPsych 220, and Oceanography 220. All of which have attendance components in some form, so I attend all of my classes, at a total of 15.5 hours.

A lot of it depends on your Major and ability to perform on tests (memorization, test taking tactics, ability to remain calm, etc).

You’ll find all sorts of results asking this type of question. People who spend almost no time studying, and people who will tell you they basically study 24/7 and can’t keep straight C’s. It’s highly individualistic.
