All of the above. Just say what specific major you're doing, and from which country you're from. This is sort of survey, so that other people who might be considering joining a university could see the information dealing with actual, every-day regime. Thank you.zAbso said:For what reasons are you asking?
Are you asking for a specific major or just for the general college student? Also for what regions, as in inside or outside of the U.S.?
Thank you. Let's wait for others to join and add. One request tho, if you people are going to post something here, maybe you could avoid using term "credits" since many people who might be considering joining a university might not know what credits are and thus be confused. Just say how many hours per day you study. Thank you.zAbso said:I'm currently majoring in both computer science and physics, minoring in chemistry (though I'm having trouble fitting a few classes into my schedule). Currently looking at approximately 9 lecture hours, the rest are lab credits (totaling 12 credit hours, so a light schedule this semester). Yes we get holiday breaks, the times vary from a day, a few days, a few weeks, and a month or greater.

The best way to balance lectures and homework in college is to create a schedule that allocates enough time for both. This can be done by using a planner or a digital calendar to map out your class schedule, study time, and free time. It is important to also prioritize your tasks and focus on completing them one at a time.
Staying motivated can be challenging, but it is important to remember the end goal of achieving good grades and completing your degree. You can also stay motivated by setting smaller goals and rewarding yourself when you achieve them. It can also be helpful to find a study group or a study partner to keep each other accountable.
Some tips for managing time effectively in college include setting realistic goals and deadlines, breaking down larger tasks into smaller ones, and avoiding procrastination. It is also important to take breaks and prioritize self-care to avoid burnout.
To balance extracurricular activities with your college routine, it is important to prioritize your commitments and make sure they do not interfere with your academic responsibilities. This may mean limiting the number of extracurricular activities you participate in or finding ways to combine them with your academic work, such as joining a club related to your major.
If you fall behind on your college routine, do not panic. Take a step back and assess the situation. Figure out what caused you to fall behind and make a plan to catch up. It may also be helpful to seek support from your professors, academic advisors, or peers. Remember to also practice self-compassion and not be too hard on yourself.
