Is it normal that I only study like 3-5 hours per WEEK for my Bachelor's degree? (I AM NOT TROLLING!)
Hi, I only study 3-5 hours per week for my undergraduate Bachelor's degree. My major is General Management. So, it's a Bachelor in Business Administration. And my GPA has been 3.8/4.0 so far.
What I am now wondering is: Is this normal? Are all the other people making up their huge hourly time commitment per week to make their studies sound hard?
Or is it because my school is perhaps shitty? (I hope it's not, it does make a solid impression. The school has existed for more than 150 years and is regionally accredited...)
I certainly don't believe it's because I am super smart... it must be something else... But I am a bit scared now that maybe I was simply lucky so far (for whatever bizarre reason) and that it will be different in grad school... I am scared since I somehow have been able to sail through so far and am not used to more...
Your major is "General Management" and your school is "regionally accredited". That explains everything.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. Why so hostile? Is a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a focus on General Management viewed as a mickey mouse degree? (I thought rather degrees such as communication, gender studies, history, philosophy were viewed like that)
And what is wrong with regional accreditation of a school? I thought regional accreditation is higher than national accreditation?
Can you elaborate?
Looking back for your reply. THX
transfer to a better school
Really depends on what classes you are taking.
I had the unfortunate circumstance of transferring from a private conservative school to a university in california with batshit insane "cultural sensitivity cluster" courses required that were freshman courses. I had finished all my finance and econ classes by senior year, and I had to finish 34 credits of crap like Arab history and western imperialism, samurai and pokemon: japanese history, a class that badmouthed the US for being a republic instead of a democracy, and many other BS classes. (Sad! Many such cases!)
Needless to say, I studied maybe 5 hrs seriously, worked my ass off, and expanded my side-hustle of writing papers for the Saudi and Persian international kids whose parents were making them get A's in chemical engineering or whatever.
In your case, however, it may be because you are a glorified communications major
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I did have difficult classes so far: 3 accounting classes, 1 Math class, 1 statistics class, 1 finance class... (as to answer your very initial point)
Then, what do you mean by "glorified communications major"... is a Bachelor's in Business Administration with a focus on General Management really viewed like this? (I asked this another poster too as I thought business degrees in general were solid and that fields like history, philosophy, gender studies etc. are viewed to be soft)
Thx for your reply.

Dude this means you're freakishly smart (e.g. Einstein, Newton, Trump). I would reach out to your professors immediately and see if they will let you teach a couple classes. You NEED to share your intellectual findings with the world. +1 bro, great post
