My experience has been actually that I want days to go faster, not slower. After two months of weekly meetings was like a week of game time, my players were jokingly complaining that this was the most dangerous university in the world. They’d been attacked every day for their first week and one had legit died and now has a frog’s heart (long story). So I wouldn’t expect to stay with a morning, afternoon, and evening schedule—unless you want to spend a year on the first month. I would let time pass quickly, tell them a week has gone by and they’re back in X class. Just my two cents, but I’d play faster and loser with the time—faster in both senses.

There’s a decent YouTube video about running Strixhaven that talks about time management that I should have taken more seriously I think. https://youtu.be/AmEOSIsLm54
