full-time CE student means no time for friends or a girlfriend
Lolwut?
University compared to work is so much less stressful and so much less time consuming. You have to sort out your time management because providing you get a decent job you will not have more free time after graduating; in fact you'll have much less.
As a worst case scenario:
10 to 12 hours of lectures and tutorials
+
2 to 3 hours of studying a day
=
MAX of 33 hours.
Given you sleep for at least 7 hours a day that's 28% of your daytime.
In a job you will have something like 8 to 5 for at least 5 days a week. That's 38% of your daytime. But don't fear add at least an hour of commuting back and forth. Some 4 to 5 hours spent doing errands and other general house keeping stuff, managing finances and all. All in all it adds up to some 50% of you daytime.
That's given you are a 100% efficient machine, but you are human an as such it even far worst than that.
Not to mention that University and learning in general are far better than a job no matter how much the field interests you.
For every hour of class the school says 2 hours of homework.
So you take a 20 credit hour load add the 40 hours of homework that would require and that is 60 hours.
I work 40-50 hours a week, sometimes more when it's crunch time, sometime less when it's slow.

Says the fag sponging off his parents and living in their basement playing WoW when he's supposed to be in his Community College Intro to VB class.
I'm reading this thread and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I devote about 24 hours total per semester for ``homework'', and most of that is to do projects. And I have grades high enough to get a noticeable scholarship, so my approach has no effect on my results. I'm on my fourth year now. Are you all fucking retarded?

Try going into a real degree like Electrical Engineering.
Dude. I guess it's a different experience. I did go to University and I do have a job and I graduated with a first so it's not like I got out with the minimum possible.
Just saying this for the OP for reference.
Expect work to suck much more than University.
Besides University was fun. Work on the other hand is as boring as fuck.
Where did the threadshitter go by the way?

Since when did getting a BSc. in CE or CS take a lot of effort?
2 hours of study for each hour of credit is completely unrealistic and outrageously exaggerated. As a final-year undergrade at MSU, I've yet to take a class where the relationship between Semester hours to study hours exceeded 1
:1, and even that was a rare occurrence.
I highly recommend you read SICP to help you on your way on enlightenment. If afterwards you still feel that way your chances to achieve satori are pretty slim, I'm afraid.
CS students who spend a lot of time on homework are generally those who shouldn't have been admitted in the first place (or those who do way more than necessary because they enjoy it or have nothing better to do).
You suck. With 18 credits, I still have time to just sit around and do nothing. Time for friends goes in there, even if you have to bother them in their work-study jobs because they don't have a real (crappy) job at a real (crappy) employer, like WaMart (say this with an ebonic accent). As for women: most are really (REALLY) stupid, and I'd rather not put up with them. Smart women think that I'm Charles Manson (hence whay they are smart).
