[QUOTE="Reprisal, post: 1042474, member: 1161"] [b]Courses taken have an extreme effect on free time.[/b] I'm fourth year, working on a degree in Global Studies (a combination of Political Science and Economics focusing on international aspects), and I've found that I tend to have more free time than a lot of other students. Of course, I've settled into the way things work a bit easier, and the man who said that using the simple strategy of "learning in class, not during free time" is speaking the absolute truth. It also helps if you're interested in what you're doing, too. ;) I find that courses that don't have much homework like political science, history, sociology, psychology, and even economics don't have much in the way of homework beyond the odd assignment and simply reading the textbook and paying attention in class (and remembering the stuff you learned in previous courses). I think this is a bit different than the work-intensive courses like engineering, computer science, the fine arts, and what-have-you.
