I’m an incoming freshman and my classes each day start from around 9 AM to about 6 PM. With about 2 hours of free time total in between classes. I’m trying to think how do people manage their EC in college? Do they do EC during the weekend only?Thanks
If you go to a residential college, most ECs meet in the evenings or weekends. Are you taking classes from 9-6 every day? That sounds potentially killer.
This adds up to 35 hours per week, but you can’t be taking 35 credit hours. How many classes are you taking?
I don’t know about time-consuming ECs like athletics or the campus newspaper, but my school had a student organization fair at the beginning of the year that allowed us to sign up for mailings from clubs. Most clubs will determine everyone’s availability and then choose their meeting time (in the evening) based on that. You might still have some conflicts, but you should be able to join a couple of clubs.
Some colleges have a “common hour” when there are no classes. At my school, it was 12:30-1:30 p.m. on Fridays. A lot of clubs met during that time.
