<p>That’s basically it, I don’t want to have class on fridays, is it possible to schedule it that way? I know it is for classes at my current college the University of Cincinnati and at Pepperdine where a close friend of mine goes, but how easy/hard is it to get Fridays off for a semester or so?</p>
<p>Or on second thought, if that seems impossibly unreasonable to Rice students as far as scheduling, what about only having early classes on friday morning?</p>
<p>I doubt it - Rice lecture classes are either MWF for 50 minutes or TR for 75-90 minutes. Labs are one day of the week, but usually afternoons or evenings, not really mornings. So I doubt you can get Fridays off, unless you just choose not to go to class. Usually if someone has an off-day, it’s Tuesday or Thursday.</p>
<p>I have fridays off!!!</p>
<p>This is fairly hard to schedule, and gets harder as you try to take more classes. But, you could do something like 4 Tuesday/Thursday classes and a monday lab or seminar.</p>
<p>I have, for example - 4 Tuesday/Thursday classes, a monday seminar, monday night lab, and wednesday afternoon lab.</p>
<p>Possible, but tricky. This is something that is easier at other schools.</p>
<p>It’s definitely not very hard to avoid friday afternoons though.</p>
<p>I think it’s a lot more relaxing to get a Tues. or Thurs. off. It means more when everyone around you still has to work 
It also gives you time to catch up if you need to.</p>
<p>You don’t really need a 3 day weekend every weekend. Besides, what happens when Rice has a 3 day weekend. You miss out because you don’t have class anyway.</p>
<p>i dont have classes on tues or thursday, but 5 on MWF. Im loving it so far.</p>
<p>At Rice I would never try to schedule Fridays off. It would be way to stressfull the rest of the time. Don’t worry, it is only as stressful as you make it.</p>
