One of the biggest changes is the flexibility of your schedule. Instead of sitting in classes for seven hours straight, you’ll typically have 12鈥�15 hours of class per week, with more responsibility to manage your time outside of class. Expect to spend about two to three hours studying for every hour you spend in class. You’ll also have more control over your courses, schedules, and extracurricular involvement.
