how much can u work as a uni full time student?? (1 Viewer)

[synthesisFR]

how many hours a week is realistic?

 

[scaryshark09]

20-30 hours

 

[synthesisFR]

lets try this again, anyone except for scary shark answer (i think he might be mentally aloof)

depends a lot on your degree, social life and mark goals. if u minimised all of those you could probably work full time, but you’ll be miserable, whereas if u want to have a good social life and hd marks in a stem degree I wouldn’t work more than 10 hours a week

20-30 hours is manageable, but 10-20 is more realistic or even less - it's up to your own personal experience

20 - 30 is insanity r u fr
30s hrs means u work like 7.5 hours over 4 days r u fr?

For some it can be possible. I remember there being 7 days in the week, not 4

its alot but also not.
like 24 hours is 8 hours over 3 days and uni the other 2 weekdays. then you still got 2 days weekend.
I only go uni 1 day a week and only do work outside of uni during assessment/exam blocks, so working almost full time would also be manageable as carrots said

I aimed for about 20hrs/week during uni semesters, but would drop down my hours or ask to increase them depending on what was happening at uni
Some weeks I worked over full time hours, others I only worked like 5 hours

A usual working period is 8 hours a day so 8 hours for 4 days is 32 hours a week which is very doable

Nah bro, uni life takes up your time; 32 hours is crazy even for a 1st year (assuming you do a challenging degree)
I feel like weeks go by so quickly because of all the study and assignments

Yea it's doable but you don't have to do 32 hours, honestly, it matters on the job type, if retail 32 hours is manageable, anything food related would be so draining I think even 15 hours is a lot

I'm doing a challenging degree and uni only takes up like 10 hours a week average (5 hours at uni, 5 hours at home to do assignments/study).
