Heheh!!! I was just looking at my subjects for engineering and was calculating the contact hours for semester 1...

17 hours per week!!!! WOW!!!

In high school it was 30 hours+....WOW!!!

But then there are the extra hours you have to dedicate to studying/reviewing what you learnt at uni... :'(

More like getting drunk... :D

Nah, don't worry too much. You won't be doing more than 13 hours of study a week anyway... well you don't need to I think :)

You study as hard as you need to.

You'll know how much that is when you get there =D

Still...17 hours a week for engineering sounds a little low though! I've found a lot of my friends doing Engineering at the 25-30 mark.

Not many =D

Similar to what Arts would be - but you'll be spending your free time writing essays!

My semester 1 was 18, although it was 15 half of the time (pracs don't run every week).
My semester 2 was the same.

My summer semester now is 10 hours, but more like 8 hours since lectures finish very early.

These hours are diluted by Commerce subjects though (usually about 3 hours a week per subject)

Twelve. It makes sense too, given your subjects have multiples of 12 for the hours per semester.
