How much time should a student devote to study?
It is important for freshmen to learn early in their collegiate career that efficient time budgeting requires painstaking systematic planning. The resulting time schedule must be both realistic and practical; that is, it must be sufficiently flexible to handle changing requirements and be adequately balanced between academic work and recreation. Studies have shown that college students who are taking five (5) courses should study at least 30 hours a week outside of the classroom in order to be academically successful. In essence, they should consider college a like a 9-5 job.
