“is it really stressful being an economics major? Will you have spare time to hang out with people at night or on the weekends?”

It is during midterms and finals, but everybody is in that same boat. Will you have time for a social life? Hell yeahs haha. Going into business you should be a social person anyways. I’ve been having a blast. I still have time to go party on the weekends, take classes at the recreation center, play intramural sports, and anything else normal people do.

“How many classes do you usually take per quarter and how many hours do you usually study- do you choose to study day by day or a week before midterm or all-nighter”

Take 3 your first quarter to get used to it (recommended by everyone), and then 4 every quarter after that (the normal amount). I study day by day because I don’t procrastinate, this gives me the ability to do literally no work on friday/saturday and not be behind. It’s not unusual to pull a few all nighters, but that’s really just during midterms/finals.

“what other courses do you take to fulfill all the units you need to get a degree because don’t you need 20 or so more units in addition to the economics requirements?”

For bus econ, you usually end up getting the accounting minor also. So that takes up just about all of your required units. If you are doing just pure Econ major like me, you’ll end up with extra units need to graduate (180 units, 90 of which need to be upper div). I fill it up by taking whatever management classes I can.
