what does it take to be a fulltime student?

Answer 1

It takes dedication, and commitment, be willing to work hard and put 100% of your energy into accomplishing a very hard schedule. Usually a full-time student is one that takes three classes a quarter.

For most it means not working, and developing good study habits to be successful and maintain excellent grades.

A lot of students I know need to work at least 20 hours a week, I work 40. They take 2 classes a quarter and average about a 3.4. Because I work my grade point average is lower, about a 3.25.

Everyone that I know that does not work and goes to college averages about a 3.7-3.9. The more you work, the worse are your grades.

If I could study all the time I would be a much better student, but I need to work 40 hours a week, and 50 hours in the spring and summer. In fact, I may have to drop out of college because work is too busy for studying.

If I could do it all over, I would finish college asap, taking 4 classes and not working. Good luck, what it takes is dedication. Never lose sight of that goal.

Good luck.
