Sleeping in at UCLA

<p>I think that pre-psych is one of the easier majors (I'm not including psych). The prerequisite courses are basically a bunch of GEs, and the only "difficult" courses in that list is Psych 100A,B ..</p>

<p>if ur a science major, you have to take early classes at some point. Lower div classes are almost always three days a week and class is sometimes as early as 8am.</p>

<p>I'm a junior transfer history major. I don't think I'll do too much sleeping in, but I love to get around 9 hours of sleep, so I was wondering if the noon classes fill up pretty quickly if a lot of people like to sleep in.</p>

<p>9 hours of sleep in college.. good luck. noon classes do fill up quicker, but as a history major you can get away with it a lot of the time. sometimes, you will just have to do a 9 or 10 am, even w/history.</p>

<p>You'll be lucky if you can get more than six hours of sleep. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>If you want a North Campus class that you can BS please join me in my Consitutional History class and lets see how you do. Or better yet try your hand at one of the undergrad law courses, they've got a reputation for being so easily completed.</p>

<p>Point is, just because the class doesn't involve numbers it doesn't mean it's easy. But to be fair, there are indeed pleanty of North Campus classes that you can BS, just not all of them.</p>

<p>I don't want to BS anything, I was just asking whether classes fill up for noon quickly, because prefer to sleep a little later if I can. :)</p>

<p>Eh, I have both south and north campus friends that get in at least 8 hrs every night so it is possible</p>

<p>5 year plan is your friend.</p>

<p>And what reason would you use on your petition to tell them that you require an extra year, and how would you get past the ECP hurdles?</p>

<p>I was wondering about being late to lectures and everything. If it's a small/large class and you suddenly walk in 30 minutes late, do the professors get angry, or do they simply not care at all? Or does it vary?</p>

<p>it varies between class size (you can't come in late for eng comp 3, a 20-person class, but nobody cares for.. say.. 180-300 person science/math lecture.) I try not to be late to discussion, out of respect for the TAs.</p>

<p>I see. So, if you come in late to a Biology lecture of 200 people for example, the TAs don't ridicule you in any way or ... purposely make a scene that you're late?</p>

<p>As a North campus major I'm here to say you can pull off good grades and sleep in until 1 or 2 every day if that's your thing (I'm definitely a big fan)... As far as coming into a lecture late goes it's not really an issue because the classes are so big. In discussions if you come in late the TA might bust your balls a little bit but for the most part they're not going to take it to heart if you come in 10 minutes into the class.</p>

<p>Just don't expect to sleep in finals week. Ive chalked up 2 all nighters in the last 4 days and it looks like I'm headed for #3 tonight.</p>

<p>wooo! all nighters!</p>

<p>You can avoid being hectic during 10th/finals if you get a head start on everything beforehand. Most people seem to revel in it though.</p>

<p>Sleeping in also becomes tough when you have other commitments, like jobs, internships, ECs.</p>

Most liekly, no. Just don't show up late and sit in the front row. Someone came in 10:45 when the class expired at 10:50 and nothing happened (sat on the sides).</p>

<p>head start beforehand? i dont understand. is that in like a different language or something? :D</p>

<p>^ haha yah.
i totally should have started my papers earlier.
now i stuck myself with two minimum 10-pagers in... two... days...

<p>I was just wondering, how does working and school fit together? Do you guys who work/intern and study full time find enough time for social activities?</p>
