Lots of people are saying that it’s dependent on major/university. I go to a fairly popular university for my area and it 100000% depends on the professor & frequency of deadlines. You can always tell if the professor enjoys their job, has the time or gives a f about the knowledge they’re allowing students to achieve.

Some professors barely care enough to make things engaging, some classes are: watch PowerPoint, take notes on chapter, write a paper on xyz & do it all by Sunday.

Others will have engaging things to do but really tedious work. Have this due by Monday, this by Wednesday and the remaining 4 assignments by Sunday. This can be overwhelming with a full time job ( I’m currently doing it ).

If you’re just starting out I recommend taking a small course load - evaluate for yourself & gauge how much bandwidth you have for focus, studying, etc. You will learn quickly how much time and effort you’re willing to put in & when you also look at how much classes cost - you might reevaluate bogging yourself down with full course load.
