<p>A lot of it depends on whether you find it necessary to do your reading (protip: it usually is). If you consider reading unnecessary, then the workload in humanities and social science classes are generally low, since you only have a few tests and/or papers throughout the semester. But most English classes cover a book every two weeks, which is about 80 pages per night. I’m in a Poli seminar this semester that has about 200–300 pages of reading every week. You get used to it, and you learn when it’s okay to skim.</p>
