Is it better to spread classes throughout the week?

[dontforgetxx]

I'm looking through my class schedule right now for next semester - I have 4 classes and 1 peer mentor internship class on Monday/Wednesday all day (9:30AM - 6:45PM with a 2 hour break in between), Tuesday/Thursday off, and 2 classes on Friday.
I'm wondering if it'll be too much for me to handle. Study schedule-wise, most of my studying will probably fall on Tuesdays/Thursdays, because I think that I'll be so burnt by the end of the day, that I feel like I won't be able to study.
Has anyone had a schedule like this before? Was it easy to manage, or do you think it's better to have classes which are spread apart throughout the week?

*Let's keep in mind that half of my classes are kind of BS. The most important are Organic Chem I, and a statistics class I need for my major. Then, I have a really small (~10 person) into to sociology class, and an easy art class as part of a stupid requirement to graduate.

Most people prefer to have class on as few days a week as possible.

Lucky for me, I've had class on every day of the week every semester ever. Often, I'll have just one stupid class on friday which means I have to drive the 30 mins to and from school for that one class./rant

I like sched's like this so I can sleep in get some energy back on my day off's and then bang out all my work while everyone else is in class on those days 🙂

I think it's totally personal preference. I personally loved having days off, and would cram all of my classes together as much as possible. That said, I never did it as a solid block 9:30-7 (that's pretty rough, regardless of how breezy the classes are), and whenever I was forced to spread them out throughout the week, every day of classes seemed more tolerable and less mind-numbing. I think there are pros and cons to both, so it just depends on what you think you can handle.

You might get a little burned out from sitting in class all day but I don't think it sound too bad. Like Flowrate I too have had the joy of class M-F since I've started school, and the (sometimes) shorter days this works out too doesn't really lessen the drag. I think you should be able to handle it without issues as long as you do stay on top of getting work done on Tu/Th.

Personal Preference.

I like being efficient so I try to get all my classes on Mon, Tues and Wednesday so that I have a 4 day weekend. I hate driving back and forth to campus, big time waster. Seems much more efficient to have class all day for 3 days.

I have classes every day of the week this fall, save weekends. The trick is, I have morning and then late afternoon classes so I have about 5-7 hours to myself everyday. 🙂
