Perguntas Frequentes
How many hours should I commit per week?
Aim for 45-60 hours total (class + study + work). Above 65 hours, burnout risk increases significantly.
How many hours should I sleep?
The calculation assumes 8 hours/night (56/week). Reducing sleep to study more actually harms academic performance.
Can I work full-time and go to school full-time?
It is extremely challenging. Full-time work (40 hrs) + full-time school (45 hrs) = 85 hours/week, leaving very little free time.
