Welcome back Coreh as I welcome myself back too.


I laugh at 12, even 22, hours a week in class. I'm in lecture and lab roughly 40 hours each week with two final exams every month. Don't even ask about study time.
Failing is anything less than 70%; 94% is only a B.
 I learned a foreign language. It's called C++.
I get a total of 4 weeks off from class this year.
I'm paying thousands of dollars* to work the equivalent of a full-time job and I'm loving it!
Why?
Because I'm actually learning new and interesting things every month as I build a foundation for my future career in the industry I dreamed about entering ever since I first held a gamepad and moved that paddle, picked up that sword, collected that mushroom, leaped across that road, chased after that frog, collected the crystals and saved the world from countless invasions. I'm going to entertain people. I'm going to make games.

*student loans

Hat:
How do you buy food and pay rent if you're spending that much time at university? That is insane, even my 65 hour week leaves me no spare time to do anything except occasionally mouth off on the internet, and I make just enough to get by on my 25 hours a week.

Jimmy the Squid:
This year I only have about 5 hours of class time a week which allows me to work about 24 hours in a week. I'm meant to do 20 hours of outside class study which I try to get through. Life is good.

calenlass:
Um... unless I am writing a paper or a report or something, I do not spend any time on school stuff outside of class. Oh, and "studying"*.



*Studying for me is actually learning it for the first time.

 VA dependent education benefits cover most of my living expenses so I only had to borrow an extra couple thousand in student loans to pick up the slack. Also my program is only 21 months, effectively halving said expenses.

As for studying, most classes come with a set of power points and a book of roughly 500-1000 pages of technical reading as well as individual and, sometimes, group projects to be completed outside of class.
