I’m sitting here at my parents house on the morning of Christmas Eve, thinking about how to explain what going to law school at night. The best I can come up is that it’s like a second job - in both the time and energy required to do it well (not that I’ve gotten any grades back yet to know that I’ve done anything well):
11 credit hours. Works out to about 10.5 hours at school per week (Monday-Thursday).
15 hours of homework per week, with significant spikes for exam review and paper-writing.
12 hours of commuting per week (Nearly 3 hours each day, 4 days per week).
1.5 hours for after-class BS sessions.
= 39.5 hours/week.
I, of course, have no one to blame but myself for this. But I do really love it. And while I might not do it part-time if I had it to all over again, so far it has been quite rewarding. There are definite advantages and disadvantages when compared to a full-time program. But that’s for another post.
