4 days at uni were 9-5 pretty much, worked in my day off to get some money, when I wasnt at uni I was doing portfolio work....no sympathy from me
No sympathy either, my first-first year was:
Monday - 9-6 (1 hour break), Tuesdays 9-2 (no break), Wednesday 9-12 (everywhere got a half day, or no day at all), Thursdays 9-7 (1 hour break), Friday 1x9pm and 1x 5pm. In a campus in the middle of nowhere.
And our exams were always the first to start and last ones to finish.
My worst timetable at college involved a day with just a 1 hour lesson. I wouldn't have minded but there was only 1 bus in and 1 out a day at 9am and 5:30pm and they took an hour each way, meaning I spent twice as long travelling as working and had 7 & 1/2 hours to kill!
Got the timetable changed eventually though when enough people stopped coming to the oddly placed lessons and somehow ended up with a 3 day week! Bonzer!
1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!!!
Pah! I did 25 hours a week for all three terms, plus essays, lab writeups, and theses.
I used to get up in t'middle of t'night, before I'd gone to bed.......
(Thanks Evilmunky)
Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet intakes.
Luxury!
I used to get up, middle a' night, six hours before bedtime, work down t'pit for 28 hours, fer 'alfpence a lifetime, get home and get cut in half by ma dad with t'breadknife....
But can ya tell that t'young 'uns these days?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A 20 hour week? Sounds like heaven to me!
My weekly timetable for the last couple of months and for at least the next 6 weeks is:
Monday: Leave home at 3:30am drive to airport (usually Heathrow or Luton). Fly. Work until 8pm
Tuesday: Work 8am - 8pm
Wednesday: See Tuesday
Thursday: See Tuesday
Friday: Start work at 8am, leave the office about 7ish, drive/catch taxi to airport, catch flight home, arrive home about middnight.
20 hours a week? Boohoo.
Your own fault for choosing to do it though tbh, as i said, it's not the hours as such that annoys me, it's the ludicrous way that the lessons are arrangedOriginally Posted by burble
Ah well, wait until you join the real world, then you'll be in a better position to complain about schedules
Aye, but i thought i may as well voice my complaints now, good practice for later
Damn straight. It'd all relative anyway. If all your student mates are getting every other day off, or four-five day weekends, then you're right to feel hard done by.
Bet all the guys on here working 5000 hour weeks wish they were back being students....

I used to have a two hour special history subject at 9 on Mondays. This was with a lecturer who, as a friend correctly observed, could make a Viking raid seem boring. I didn't sleep at all on Sunday nights, knowing I had to get up for this bloody subject on a Monday morning. The solution was to stop going to most of them and borrowing notes from one of my studious mates (I paid him back by giving him notes from a lecturer he hated) and it worked out okay in the end. Got a 2:1 instead of a First (just missed it, apparently) but it was worth the extra time in bed.
I did a similar thing with a 'modern' history subject we had to cover (18th century, I'm a medievalist!) so you can miss stuff and with a bit of book work claw it back again. YMMV, of course.
As of yesturday im effectivly working 6 days a week
My I.T course in Basingstoke is 9-5 monday-friday
Then still working at waitrose 8-5 on sundays!
So 6 days a week but only getting paid for 1! Only consolation is that the course is only for 6 months then after that I can get a proper job.
