By the time you get to your junior level classes, a lot of your life will definitely consist of studies, especially if you want to graduate on time. However, by this time one would hope that you picked the right major and actually enjoy what you are learning, especially in your junior level classes, where you are getting into the “thick” of your major. I would say this is essential to succeeding in engineering. Know your major.

I enjoy the busy lifestyle. It also helps not to be into things that waste your time, like video games or TV series. Then you find a nice balance between work and hanging with your friends. As long as I get work done during the week, I can almost always make free time on Friday or Saturday nights.

Freshman year is a different story. You will have plenty of time to “have a life” outside of your studies.
