I've continuously heard of the rigorous classes, and these in part seem to be a staple of UChicago. I believe Chicago ranked number 6 (unsure of exact number but it was very close to the top) for university students that study the most, and across every video of UChicago I've found, students indefinitely mention the intense course load and diminished free time.
So just how much free time would a UChicago have during the week, how much time per day is spent studying (and does "studying" consist of reading or doing homework or other additional work as well?), and for someone who is not used to college or an extremely rigorous schedule, would it be manageable?
I'm not particularly used to a rigorous schedule, but I am in all offered APs and my school and no one has graduated with a perfect 4.0 from my school. My unweighted is about 3.88 and by the end of senior year will finish around 3.95+. I'm not saying that I was lazy at my school, I'm just know that there are many other high schools which are much more challenging than mine, so how smooth would one expect the transition to be?
