    Does anyone know how many hours of lectures and seminars a first year law student has every week?

    Also, how many exams does a law student have in the first year?

    Thank you!
    12hrs of contact time

    2 lectures per module every week so around 8 hrs of lectures

    Seminars every week or so.

    Just in time for exam time when everyone is crammed into the library. Coincidence? I think not.
    Eugh. It seems to be a lottery as to whether it's absolutely rammed or plenty of free space at the moment. But I've fallen in love with the floor 2 open work space. It's great for group work :yep:

    Have a look at http://www.warwicksu.com/forums/topiclist/630/ to see typical prices, on a per person basis.

    I'm very much a floor 4 girl. I don't like working in noisy areas, and floor 3 is too oppressive but floor 5 is too modern and swish.

    I'm happy with noisy areas or quiet areas, but what I can't stand is when an area is quiet apart from just one person talking (because you just end up listening to them instead of doing useful stuff). I particularly like it when I'm in an area that's really empty.

    I haven't read the contract, but it's unlikely. Although, no-one really checks if the correct person is living in the room they're allocated.

    I wouldn't class floor 2 as part of a library, more like a lounge! :lol:

    Oh my goodness yes. I was in there at 4am the other night, and two people were chatting LOUDLY on floor 4. I actually ended up asking them to hush because it was doing my head in.

    There's more to the library than the first 2 floors? :zomg: :lol: . I've never had a reason to go above floor 2. If I want a quiet area, I visit the science area across the floor 2 bridge (But that's nigh on impossible to find a seat that isn't either occupied or 'reserved' :facepalm:)

    Are there spare seats in the other floors or is it just as full?

    Yes, even when there are 3 separate streams of the champions league happening around the room :lol:

    The whole place is quite full at the moment, I think. I don't know for sure, just going on hearsay - I've been working from home lately.

    Does anyone here know the average number of hours an Engineering student has in first year (lectures + seminars + labs).

    Also how may lab reports do you get on a termly basis?

    How does this change in 2nd/3rd year? (I know it'll be different depending on the modules you pick but I meant in general).

    Cheers!

    Hi, just wondering, if anyone knows, how many sports clubs am i allowed to join? I am considering joining 2, but due to requirements and commitments such as training, is this possible?

    There's no hard limit but obviously, as you say, you'd need to make sure they don't take up too much time. Also bear in mind that each one costs money to join.
