Students in Belgian universities usually take more than 30 hours a week
ewwww. My professors have told me that for every hour of lecture an equal number of hours is suppose to be used (at a min) to study for that class. Most student really require more then that so given 30 hours a week in class 40 hours a week out of class probably wouldn't be that far fetched.
While it might seem like its being "intense" I wonder how much harm its really doing.
