Can anyone tell me what the class schedule is like for a 1st year SUNY Opt. student? I am going to be commuting so I am wondering when classes begin and when you are done for the day. Also, do you have much free time in between classes? Thanks
Classes usually start at 9, maybe one day a week you'll have to be there at 8. During your first year you'll have a morning or afternoon off a week, but by 2nd quarter you'll find that you like to use that time in the lab practicing. By 2nd year, you'll really want to be close to school because you'll be there *all* the time. If you're commute is 45min-1hr, it's do-able.
2nd year I'm done at 5-ish, and come in on weekends/evenings occasionally to practice. 1st year if you have afternoon classes, plan on leaving at 4-ish.
