Not in the UK, which is where several of the posters on this thread are from.

One of my years at Uni involved me taking 16 courses in the year (35 "classes"
a week).

Out here, every credit is equivalent to an hour in class. Therefore, 35
classes in a week would be 35 hours in class which doesn't even sound close
to realistic in ANY country. Unless you classes are less than an hour long,
that just doesn't make sense.

7 hours per day in class Monday-Friday? No way. A university would lose
money if their faculty was subject to those types of hours.

I hope she doesn't have any plans for your room because I doubt you'll be
out before 30.

Rumors have it anywhere from $99 to $199...I very much doubt it will be over
$150 so don't fret too much.

Well, I did. I had 35 hours a week.

Yep. That's what I had. First lecture at 9am, sometimes last lecture at 6pm,
depending on the day. Plus studying and coursework.

Anyway, it's pretty damn obvious from her posts that `eminem' is nowhere
near 18 years old. 10 or 11 is probably nearer the mark.

Yep, me too in my 2nd and 3rd year. For the last quarter of my first year
I only had one lecture a week though

That would be easy enough to build into a cart if the game required it.
