What schedule did you take in college?

Eg. Mon - Thurs
8-3 PM

That's just an example. I'm looking for the best configuration of classes. I'm not a morning person.

I don't have much of a choice; a lot of my classes only have one section. Other than that, I try to keep mine all bunched together, whether in the morning or at night. I _hate_ having an hour or two break in between classes turning my 4 hour day into a 7 or 8 hour day.

avoid morning classes at all costs

That's pretty much what I am doing.

Is it wrong to pack classes into two days a week?

 

[SpiderWiz]

what no poll?!?!?!? I stuck with morning class.

If you can, go for it.

For me, I prefer getting my classes done in the morning, but partly because that lets me work in the evenings. I also am more motivated to actually go to class in the morning than the afternoon, oddly.

my best semester was having classes on only Tuesday and Thursday from like 10-5 or 6. 4 day weekend every weekend. Plus a day off in the middle. Awesome.

10:30 - 11 AM is a good time for the first class since it gets you up and out... then have a break for lunch.. then schedule the rest of the classes however you wish
if your first class is too late, say 3 PM, you might start getting lazy

 

[BMdoobieW]

Morning classes, ending in the afternoon

Because that was the only choice in the poll. But really I had classes from 8 or 9 to about 1 or 2 or 3.

Wow right on the money, thanks.

Mostly MWF thru the afternoon only and on T,Th it was afternoon and night.

 

[SilentZero]

It was always afternoons and evenings (ending ~ 8pm) unless I didn't have a choice regarding morning classes.

 

[Umberger]

M, W, F
8 - 12

Next semester will be my slack semester, thus making this possible.

I had that schedule my last several semesters because that was only when the classes were offered. Last semester was 8am-5pm tuesday and 8-2pm thursdays (taking 12 credits). Have multiple tests/projects due on the same day sucked majorly since never had enough time to prepare for all of it at once.

 

[Feldenak]

I worked a full time job from 4PM - 1:30AM. I tried to pack my classes into a 9AM - 3PM window.

 

[Mo0o]

I try my best to spread the classes across M-Th 10am-1pm. This lets me work the rest of the afternoon

 

[Accipiter22]

your poll isn't very good....I took all early afternoon classes, always made sure I had at least one per day to keep me busy

 

[Blazin Trav]

anyone else?

 

[MX2]

All day everyday for years....or so it seemed at the time

 

[thirtythree]

Next semester my classes will be 4:30-7PM M-Th. Ideally I'll get 10PM-2AM shifts at work (graveyard = higher pay, less work) and sleep in till 3. Ohhh yeah.

 

[Scarpozzi]

When I was undergrad, I forced myself to take at least 9am classes....started wtih 8am classes my freshman year because I was used to getting up earlier. I recommend taking morning classes as much as possible because the scheduling just tends to workout easier. You can almost always take the classes you need 8-noon and it gives you the rest of the day to sleep before going out and getting drunk.

For my Senior year through Grad school, I've been doing night classes. It's the only time most of the classes are offered. Some are 2:30-4pm, once a week....but those are primarily core classes. I prefer the night classes simply because it's once a week and most profs don't want to be there anymore than you do so you can get out early.

 

[SampSon]

I used to take most classes from 9a-2p.

 

[Baked]

Night classes from 7-10, once a week after work, FTW.

Last semester I only had class tuesday/thursday from 7:30am to 1:30pm. That was okay, but it was a little bit too early for me and I had no lunch break so by the time I got to my last class I was always starving and wanting to leave.

This semester I'm going to try the monday/wednesday/friday from 8am to 12pm. I did that two semesters ago and enjoyed it a little more than my tuesday/thursday only class days.
