<p>Could anyone tell me what the world load at Bates entails? (heavy, moderate, frequent papers, class time per week?)</p>
<p>it really depends on the major:</p>
<p>i am a neuroscience major and essentially do work whenever i am not at class, at the gym, or at meetings for my extracurriculars...i rarely get the opportunity to truly relax, but i love my classes and this is the price i am willing to pay for a good education...</p>
<p>this year i have had at least one major exam or paper every week; however, like i said before, it depends entirely on your major. many of my friends have ample time to relax and spend about half of the amount of time i devote to being in the classroom or doing work outside of class...</p>
