When I was in college I treated it like a 9-5 job and studied before, in between, and after classes.

Good. Looks like I'm not the only one.

I am in college now and that's similar to what I do. Sometimes I've had to study at night if it's important or if I just run out of time during the day (like last semester when I was in class for 5 hours on Tuesday/Thursday). But I typically study during the day. If you're productive with your study time during the day, you normally don't have to study at night. I like to relax at night and don't want to be up too late studying so I prefer to get my studying done during the day.

Same. I study during the day too but I have to go to some isolated place like a library, etc. and it's not as productive as evenings.

Nope, my classes need more time than "just listening" a couple of times a week.

I was an evening/late night studier. I basically maintained the same schedule in college that I did in high school, both to accommodate my work schedule and extracurriculars, and also for the consistency. Whereas most people did not take 8 a.m., 9 a.m. classes if they could avoid them, I scheduled all my classes in a block starting from the 8 a.m. slot on till about 4:30. That left my early mornings free for work study, and my afternoons/early evenings open for my music ensemble practices and theatre involvement. I studied and wrote papers after 9 or 10 p.m. and on weekends, same as in high school.

I've always been most productive in the late evening hours. When I got a newspaper writing gig as an adult, I also did all my writing for that in the late hours.

Are you saying you were in class from 8:00-4:30? Or am I interpreting your post wrong?

That's not a bad idea. She is probably just going to class on two days ( assuming she got back-to-back classes). I've done that too. Although 4.30 is a little late. I'm a bit beaten after such a long day. Can't really do anything after that

Usually evenings. I honestly can't remember what time I usually went to bed. When I did my pediatric nursing rotation, we had to work some evenings till 9. Usually we went directly to bar from hospital, so maybe I studied before I went to work then?

Yep, generally 8-4:30...classes at my alma mater were scheduled 8-9, 9-10, then a break from 10-10:30 for chapel (Lutheran college, chapel not compulsory, but offered daily, usually with faculty giving a homily, so no classes scheduled during that half hour), then 10:30-11:30, 11:30-12:30, and so on, on to 4:30. Night classes weren't super common, but were usually scheduled after 6:30. I had a lot of classes that overlapped several "periods," due to what I was studying. Theatre classes usually ran three hours so that you could get through everyone's scenes, same with education practicum coursework. Music classes were also several hours. My classes were always scheduled 8-4:30, usually with an hour for lunch worked in there somewhere. I was always out by 4:30, though, because I had choral rehearsal from 4:30-6 nightly for all four years.
