[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a big three private high school and then one of those colleges. The big three was way harder in terms of workload and time management.

I worked hard in college. I probably studied, I don't know, maybe eight hours a day, more during exams. But time management was not an issue because I only had four classes and I was neither work study nor an athlete. So I had PLENTY of time to get work done. And I got WAY more sleep than in high school.

I feel like there is something miss here from what you are saying. Did your daughter go to a high school where she only had a couple hours of homework a night? Or did her high school not prepare her well for college level week? Or is she an athlete or have a work study job? She should have plenty of time to get her work done and still sleep 7 to 8 hours a night.

You studied 8 hours a day?  What was your major?[/quote]

History, with a lot of Econ as well. Tons of writing and I liked to write good papers so I spent a lot of time on them.

College: A few hours for class, seven hours for sleep, plus eight hours of studying/writing papers, etc. still leaves a good five hours for bathing, eating, socializing, exercising, etc. Which is a heck of a lot more free time I had for all that in high school.

High school was six hours of sleep, eight hours of class with brief breaks like lunch factored in, mandatory sports after school, other extra currics at night or on weekends, and an expected 3 to 4 hours of homework a night. I had zero free time and was sleep deprived in high school. College was a friggin vacation in comparison.
