<p>Medicine</p>
<p>Read about half-an hour to 3 hours per day</p>
<p>mostly one just reads summaries (IDK if anyone can EVER finish Guyton's physyology or Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine)</p>
<p>Med=lots of reading</p>
<p>I agree with Student35, at least theoretically, in so far that in most cases there is enough time in the day to do all of the readings assigned for your classes (saying that you can still do all the readings plus notes with other obligations is a bit of a stretch however). </p>
<p>The part about using the internet, watching tv, partying, etc., strikes me as a bit condescending especially since it assumes that those who choose to spend less than 12+ hours a day doing assigned readings are not getting the most out of their coursework. To some extent I'm willing to concede that's probably true but I think something resembling a respectable personal/social life is well worth the compromised academic standing that may come with not reading all of the material.</p>
<p>I totally agree that having a social life important. But there's a difference between hanging out with friends in moderation and going to the bars Wednesday through Saturday nights and sleeping in till noon. </p>
<p>12+ hours a day is a ridiculous exaggeration. My old roommate would only open his books the night before a test. He was a business major and got by with Cs. Yet he had time to hang out with his future frat brothers every night. It's a waste of an education. That's what I was trying to illustrate.</p>
