| College will be more challenging than high school and
require a greater personal commitment. In high school you
were in school five days a week, six hours a day for a total
of 30 hours per week. National studies show that, on average, high school
students spend less than five hours a week on homework making the total commitment about 35 hours per week. In college
you will be in class 15 or so hours a week. Across the nation,
universities recommend that students study two hours per
unit per week, or 25-35 hours
per week. The total time commitment of 40-50 hours a week is quite
reasonable, similar to a
full-time job, and if you manage your
time well, there is ample opportunity for other interests
and activities.
You
should study at least two hours per week
for every unit of coursework.
