Question for College Students

When making your schedule, do you usually try to make your classes in the morning or afternoon?

I usually prefer sleeping in and go for all evening, but I'm thinking of switching it up this next semester. My reason being once winter ends and the weather gets nice, I won't want to be stuck in class all afternoon.

I'd prefer classes in the morning from like 9:00am onwards, but of course some stupid courses like calculus seem to be at 8:00am everywhere as if it's a law or something. Currently, my schedule is very afternoon based with some classes going till 10pm, but next semester I'm usually off at 1 or 2pm in the afternoon.

Is it possible to have a mix? 2-3 days of the week have morning classes and afternoons off and have 2-3 days to sleep in.

I prefer the 11:30 - 2:20 as I like sleeping and the classes are usually smaller than the 8:30 - 11:20 classes.

To elaborate I always took classes from 8 AM - 12, rarely did I take classes from 12 - 5 or later. The reason being, sports are often scheduled during this time. Every night there's a game from 7 pm onward. Even if there weren't any games from 12 - 5 pm those are odd hours to be taking classes IMO. That's sleep time, and free time

See, mine is like that this semester. Class at 9 on MWF and not until 1 on Tuesday/Thursday.

But, I think I'd prefer consistency for when I wake up and go to sleep during the week. Guess im old

I don't understand what's so bad about 8 AM classes. Most of the typical "college kids" enjoy sleeping in until extraordinary times, such as noon or 1 pm. Me, I'm up at 6 or 7 AM every morning, and 8 or 9 every weekend.

8 AM classes were the best, mainly because no sports team would schedule games from 8 to noon. So those are the best times to take classes. When you take classes at night you put yourself in serious danger of missing sports. I missed Daniel Cabrera's near no hitter to the Arizona Diamondbacks because of a night-time C++ class. Night classes are the worst.

Wednesday: 3 classes 11:45AM - 4:00PM <--skip the first one so 1:15PM
Thursday: 2 classes 2:45PM-8:15PM <-- the worst... 2x 3 hour classes

I have morning classes minus one night class. Mostly because it fits in better with my schedule, and if I'm trying to get a job or something I have the entire afternoon open.

And like Ix said, sports. They are on at night.

I'm currenly going to classes in the morning and working in the afternoon, which gives me no time to nap.
I PREFER school in the afternoon, so i can just sleep in instead.

I like morning classes, even though I hate waking up so early. Rather just get them all over with and enjoy the rest of the day. I hate having gaps between classes too, especially those 2 hour or 3 hour breaks.

Morning.

I'll also throw in this caveat, I absolutely hate when you have just one class on a given day. It's nice when you live on campus, but it's such a drag when living off-campus to head down for one 45 minute lecture.

Anything other then morning classes seems like a massive inconvenience. Part time job, hanging out with friends, free time, etc.

Last year I had mine so I had all my classes Tuesday/Thursday (8 hour days), and my Labs Wed, the payoff is that I had 4 day weekends every week. Pretty solid.

For now though, I've made it T/R is lab days, and MWF, I have classes from 8 onwards. It makes easier I feel.

neither. I liked to stack them all on 2 or 3 days of the week, so I'd have lots of days off. Mostly for skiing.

Morning, but I hate 8AM classes because it means I have to get up at 6. I prefer 9-12.

I hate morning classes. I have an 8am class on tues and thurs and it is so hard getting up for it. If I could just go to bed earlier instead of playing nhl 10 club games I'd be set.

All my other classes are from 11am-315pm. Enough time to sleep in and still have stuff to do after.
