<p>Right now I have 4 classes Monday/Wednesday from 10 - 5pm with an almost 1 hour break between them. 3 of the classes are only 50mins and 1 is 1hour and 15mins.</p>
<p>Tuesday/Thursday I have only 2 classes from 10 - 2:30pm and they're both 1hour and 15mins.</p>
<p>My last class on Monday/Wednesday is a 50minute one that I could move to Tuesday/Thursday at 8-9am.</p>
<p>Is 4 classes for one day too much - like work-wise and just the fact I'll probably be exhausted? Is it worth the extra sleep on Tuesday/Thursday or is it better to just have the 8am class and have 3 classes every day and get out around 3pm every day?</p>
<p>I had 4 classes in one day my first semester of college and I had no trouble adjusting. One from 9-10, 11-12, 12-1, and 4 to 5. It wasn’t an issue at all. I mean yeah, I had a long break from 1 to 4, but it didn’t have an affect on me. </p>
<p>I would recommend you keep your class at 10 rather than 8 because although waking up at 7ish rather than 9ish is only a two hour difference in real hours, it’s a world of difference in college hours.</p>
<p>Well last year I had a class at 9 and though it was slightly hard to get up in time for it, I was able to take long naps once they were finished. And I had the whole afternoon open. I’m just worried that 4 classes in a day is too much to deal with and that the work might start building up.</p>
<p>Try it and see if it works for you. I personally prefer having my classes more spread out if possible, but in past quarters where I couldn’t do that it was definitely doable to have most/all of my classes on certain days. You’ll be fine either way, though it may not end up being your preferred schedule.</p>
<p>I agree with 908kiddo. I’m a morning person and 8am is too early for me to actually be out and in class. Those two hours will make all the difference.</p>
<p>4 classes on the same day shouldn’t be a big problem. You either have the free time mon/wed evening, or tues/thurs morning. It shouldn’t make a difference in terms of work - you’re still taking a total of 6 classes!</p>
<p>Think about how you would use the time - if you take the morning class, what are you going to do m/w from 4-5pm? If you need to get up for an 8am class, are you going to go to bed early enough to get up and be fully awake for class?</p>
<p>If you take the m/w class, you won’t have to get up early, so you can work later in the evening, or get up and work as if you had an 8am class. </p>
<p>My preference would be to start classes consistently at 10am all week - there’s something to be said for a regular sleep cycle. But also, unless there’s something specific you would want to do 4-5pm, the hour or so before dinner often gets wasted. If that class could be moved the t/th afternoon, my answer would be different.</p>
<p>I’m just worried I would be burned out T/Th with so much going on. Then again it’s only an additional 50 minutes. And that’s a good point - I don’t know what I’d be doing in that 4-5pm window.
The class is Business Computing so I’m guessing I’d need to be pretty awake and well-rested before it which would make the 4pm class better rather than 8am. If only it was offered at 9am!</p>
<p>I average to like four classes a day for my first semester, so I hope it’s not too awful. My Friday is five classes, which is going to suck, but I didn’t have much of a choice in my schedule.</p>
<p>This past quarter I had classe Tuesday and Thursday from 8-950, 10-1150, 1-250 and 300-450. Would I recommend this? No. Did I get used to it? Of course.</p>
