Workload?

<p>I found this data on hours per week from a Swarthmore senior survey. I can’t remember where it came from – perhaps a Phoenix article. Remember, these are averages, so (for example) the varsity athletics would be an average of 1 in 4 Swatties saying 12 hours and the others saying none. Also, remember this is from surveys of seniors during graduation week, so their responses will be skewed towards things like thesis writing, meeting with profs (for Honors Prep, etc.).</p>
