What is the course-load for a student studying physics, math, or engineering like?

[land_of_ice]

How many hours do you attend class / lecture each day?
Do you study each day?
How many hours per week do you study for your courses ?
How many courses do you take per semester ?
Do you go to a University or a jc level school ?

Well being an electrical engineering student I remembered the subjects were easy in 1st year and I didn't have to worry to achieve good grades. But from the 2nd year I really had to concentrate hard due to the increasing difficulty level. And,
I usually have 4-5 hours of classes 5 days a week
In fact I can't study everyday. But I try.
In a loose estimate I spend 4/5 hours per day for my electrical subjects. ( I have personal interest in pure math and theoretical physics. So I reserve a major portion from my study time for them.)
Usually I take 15-19 credit hours per semester and that makes roughly 5-6 subjects
And yeah I go to university.
Anyway I guess this inquiring thread is for your future selection of field in term of load?

An average day is 4 hours of class.

Yes, and I would not be able to get through my classes if I didn't do it everyday.

At least 3-4 hours on weeknights (including homework) and then a few hours or so on weekends because I have no life.

4-5 classes are average, although I'll be taking 6 next semester because of a required seminar. This also depends on whether most of your classes are 3 credits or 4 and what the credit limit is at your school.
