Imperial and workload...is it bearable?

I'm maths first year. recommended work load is 40 hrs including lectures. i wud say i do abt 25. So far kinda been struggling cause its hard to stay focused, but it is definitely bearable. You just gota do some work.

What do you mean?? Do you study for 5 hours a day (excluding Weekends) Or do you only do an hour of work a day (including lectures)?

40 hours would be including lectures unless the maths department expects a lot more than the physics department!

anyone done mechanical engineering know the workload??

Get ready for an amazing first year, then a suicidal second year. Then finally third and fourth year your gonna do jackall until you start studying for exams in which case you don't have a life for about 1½ months. That's how I've done it atleast :P

In any case, year 1, 3, 4 perfectly fine, some might say we do less than others. 2nd year, ridiculous, unimaginable and downright evil. 1-2 reports every week, 9-5 days most days of the week and ridiculous amount of coursework.

what do you mean by you do nothing in years 3 and 4??

surely you have even mroe assignments and major projects to do?

though second year sounds horrendous, dont think ill be able to cope base don that and the fact if i get in, ill seriously be scraping in

Is it any easier for the civil engineers?

Imperial through clearing ? That doesn't add up.

And i'm a mathematician.

Geology is on Extra and it appears to be undersubscribed.. I assumed that there is a likelihood of it going to clearing.
