[quote=Anonymous][quote]Of course in college, you aren't spending all day in class and you're only taking four courses at a time.

And there's no commute time, you live within a short walk of the library and sports facilities and language labs, you've got no family obligations, and it's easy to get together with friends/classmates to study, do group projects, etc[/quote]

Right, so the point I'm making is that maybe people should scale back on the AP classes.  What is the point of a class being AP if it isn't really college level?  Why take AP classes in every academic subject if you can't handle it?

Plus, there are people who attend commuter colleges and live at home (my brother did this--he needed to commute an hour each way) which nullifies your point about commuting and family obligations.  There are also students who need to work part time to help pay for college and living expenses.  There are some campuses where there is not enough dorm space for everyone to live on campus, so commuting might need to happen anyway.  There are also students who get involved in research or athletics for 20+ hours a week outside of their classes.  There are exceptional students who overload and take five or six classes because they want to graduate in 3 years or double major.  And so on.[/quote]
