<p>My school offers 8 classes a year, more than most, and I have maxed out on all AP's and Honors courses offered. There is really nothing worth my time anymore, so I've taken a study hall the past two years. I'm guessing colleges could care less if you have a study hall, but correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
<p>I don't think colleges care if you have a study hall or not.</p>
<p>We have mandatory study hall for all four years in high school - which leaves us with 7 periods in a day AND a mandatory religion class. </p>
<p>Technically, we only get 6 academic periods in a day, and most of us still ended fine - I don't think it makes a difference as long as you are maxing out on what the school offers.</p>
<p>At our school all but a couple people take a study hall, and many take two study halls. It equates to 7 classes at a time.</p>
<p>Kids need a break.</p>
<p>well during senior year, I had 1 study hall and 1 "independent study" out of 7 periods, and it didn't hurt me at all in admissions... although taking more AP classes (there were no more for me to take) would have helped out my GPA :)</p>
<p>At my school study hall is only for kids with ADD or ADHD. ONly a few kids are in it.</p>
<p>Well I took two study halls my junior and senior year, but as long as you compensate this with AP's and such colleges most definitely don't care.</p>
<p>Just make sure to maximize your opportunites in the context on what your school offers. I go to a tiny school and there have been two academic periods in my four years of high school where there are no classes for me to take, so I will end high school having had two study halls in four years. Colleges are looking at rigour, so make sure to meet the colleges' expectations of course load/ rigour.</p>
<p>My school doesn't offer study hall ..</p>
<p>I wish my school offered study hall :(
It would mean a lot less homework... or more time to listen to my ipod.</p>
<p>our study halls suck since you can't sleep, listen to music, use a computer, go to library, or even talk.</p>
<p>Gosh, middle school study hall was so awesome.</p>
<p>55 minutes every day of listening to music, chillin on CC, and best of all, racing across the desks ..</p>
<p>i ALMOST beat Jimmy one time :(</p>
<p>i was the fastest girl, though. well, rachel would have been the fastest girl, but she fell one time during 2nd quarter and hurt her ankle and then she quit.</p>
<p>so basically, here's the hierarchy of "personal bests" (timed on my ipod):</p>
<p>1) Jimmy 0:04:36
2) Me 0:04:59 (so close!!)
3) Tom 0:05:35
4) Pa 0:07:05
5) Danica 0:07:44
6) Alia 0:07:55
7) Jessi 0:08:54
8) Jared 0:09:34</p>
<p>and the last-week-of-school tourney outcome:</p>
<p>Jared v. Jimmy = Jimmy</p>
<p>Pa v. Danica = Danica</p>
<p>Jimmy v. Danica = Jimmy</p>
<p>Jessi v. Me = Me</p>
<p>Tom v. Alia = Tom</p>
<p>**Me v. Tom = Tom<a href="how%20did%20that%20happen??">/b</a></p>
<p>Tom v. Jimmy = JIMMY! </p>
<p>those were the days :(</p>
<p>haha 10char</p>
