<p>Everyday, I spend 5-7 hours to study in library after all my class is done. Is it really bad to spend most the time to study? Yesterday, when I was study in the library. I feel very tired and I can't concentrate anymore. So, I decided to go home one hour early on yesterday. This is my first year in college. I don't know anyone yet, and I still not have any "social" stuff. Most my time are used to study in the library.</p>
<p>After the first midterms, you should know how much you have to study to do well in the classes. I don’t think you need THAT much time studying, it seems a bit too much (but I know some people who do study around that much at my school and they do well on exams). But after a certain point, is it worth it? College isn’t all about studying and grades (though that’s one of the most important). Keep your health first, then academics, then fun. At a certain point, I think there’s a point of when you study too much that it’s more harm than good.</p>
<p>I do agree with above poster in that college isn’t all about studying and grades. Yeah, it’s great to keep your GPA up! But I think you should make room for socialization because learning how to socialize will come in handy when you need to network and make connections near the future when getting a job becomes more important than getting an A. </p>
<p>That being said, keep getting A’s. But assuming you’re a freshman, your classes will only get harder from here (generally speaking) so I would save your time and energy for that. Having fun every once and a while will help with stress that would definitely ensue if you study 5-7 hours every day after class. I understand if it were closer to exam week, though.</p>
<p>Have you considered breaking up that long library study period with something social in the middle? That would help you meet people as well as refresh you so that your studying is more effective when you return.</p>
<p>Similarly, doing something physical can also contribute to better brain functioning.</p>
<p>I was never serious in learning while in high school. In high school, most the time I only get C and D. So I want to make a change in college. I want to get straight A’s so my father can be proud of me. And he even said If I can make straight A’s in this school year. He will buy for me a ticket to Paris. I don’t want to fail his expectation. </p>
<p>I was join a club, know couple of people in there. When we don’t have meeting, I am alone myself in school. So, after classes my only option is to go to library to study.</p>
<p>So, how many hours do straight A’s student usually study?</p>
<p>I think you’ll have to gauge that yourself because it depends on your classes, subjects, and professor. I’ve gotten straight A’s only two semesters and it was in my first year at my college. I was taking intro classes (English, math, science, etc) for my gen Ed requirement. I only spent a lot of time for math and science because of required homework. However, I barely spent time on my English class unless I had homework due. I spent everyday in the library studying or doing homework but the hours varied. I sometimes spent 5 hours finishing up my assignments, sometimes I spent 1. For 5 hours, I usually did that for days where I had like 3 essays due, a project, then a test the next day or something.</p>
<p>What kind of classes are you taking right now? </p>
<p>I think overall you should prioritize your time in the library based on homework THEN on the classes you find hardest and study for it. I think 7 hours everyday is quite excessive and I could imagine it to be stressful too. It will more than likely take a toll on you sooner or later.</p>
<p>Right now I am taking english, reading, and 2 math class. For reading and english. I am not usually spend a lot of time on it. Most the time I spend on my 2 math class which is algebra and trigonometry. I am extremely suck at math.</p>
<p>Study hard. Paris sounds like a good deal.</p>
<p>Heres whats important and I know. I saw a video on it. The people that rule the world don’t care about money. What is important is knowing more then anybody else. Just being super rich and having tons of cash doesn’t make you as happy as you would be if you knew everything. And if you know stuff then you don’t have to buy it you can get it other ways. Money power respect is only for regular people.</p>
<p>I was told by an academic advisor to expect 2 hours of homework/study for every hour in class. So far, I am definitely spending at least 3 per class on average. By on average I mean some weeks I have more work than the average and some less, and some classes are harder or require more work than others.</p>
