I a part time student studying by my own though and I also work at the same time so when work is over I just go to join the class where so often the lecturer has already started the lecture.

sounds like a tough schedule. I work, too, but I have an on campus job so it is easy to arrange my classes and work shifts together well.

I am returning to college after being away from it for more than 10 years. I finally decided to do something for myself and finish my degree in business management. I am going full time and working full time while caring for aging parents and a family. So pretty busy but I feel that the rewards far outweigh the challenges I face on a daily basis. It has already taken me years to finish my degree because I kept letting life get in the way deterring me from accomplishing my goal. Now my second time around, I have learned the importance of a degree and look forward to finishing school and looking forward to a better life for myself and for my family. The skies the limit when you apply yourself.

I signed up for work study so I'm going to get a job when I start school in the fall. It's a part-time job. I'm probably going to choose one of the dining halls to work at.

Hey that's what I did! I start my sophomore of college this week, but I am also work study and I also worked in dining services my freshman year. It was a decent job, and having a job on campus is so much more convenient than finding a job somewhere else. And they are usually pretty relaxed. This year I will be in the on-campus convenient store working the register instead.

I am a part time student and I am so because I work at the same time and I had no other option than to study part time, however there is no such disadvantages in it as I get time to earn also and to pay my fees myself so I am independent.

Yeah it makes sense to have school part time if you also have to work. I only work part time, and it's on campus so it doesn't really make it difficult for me to attend class full time.

presently i am doing part time learning. Learning part-time seems fun, but if you really wanna learn well it's so much harder than doing a course full time. When you do part-time, we pretty much have to learn most of the things ourselves apart from the so called extra study materials that we get. Studying part time also requires lot of commitment in reality if you really wanna excel. As of know i can say how well i am juggling with my life, work and studies, but i sure like it.

I go to school full time .Because my home is far away from my college,I must to live in school.Go to school full time not means I have classes all day ,we have our own spare time ,and we can use it to do something we like .Many of us choose to find a part-time job ,so that we can make some money to buy something that we like,but not ask our parents to buy them for we .

That's similar for me. I live at school, and it is also very far away from my home. I live, go to class, and go to work all on campus.

I go to school full time. I just want to hurry up and get all my classes done so I can graduate. By going part time it would just take me longer.

Yeah I think I would only to part time if I had no choice but to work full time and couldn't possibly also do school full time.

As for myself,I go to school full time.Because my college here is a full time college and it does not permit anyone to come here part-time.However,that does not mean you have to stay at school and have classes all day long.We have some spare time during which we can do our own things which we are more interested in.Hope this can give you some help.

Yeah I think mine is similar. I am a "full time" student but it's much less class time than, say, a full time job. I do live on campus, though. And I have a part time job on campus as well, but I have plenty of time for social things, etc.

I go full-time, too. I think that is the only option at my college. I like it that way better, too.

Ah, well I suppose scheduling is a little more flexible then, anyway.
