For the last 1.5 years, I’ve mostly had classes anywhere from 2 days to 4 days a week (never all 5 days), not including clinicals. Any of your free days can be taken up and used for clinicals (either 1 or 2 per week, depending on the semester) – including Saturdays and Sundays. There will be times where there will be almost back to back lectures where you have 1 hour in between one lecture to the next ie. 9AM to 12PM and then 1PM to 4PM, so you can use that 1 hour in between for lunch, etc.
First semester was 5 classes, second semester was 3, and now the last two semesters we are taking 4 classes each. Most classes will be 3 hours long and once a week, however, there are classes where you don’t meet every week, and there is a specific schedule (ie. You meet twice a month and it will be outlined). We also have lab days (anywhere from like 30 minutes to 3 hours) for classes where we have to go in during our assigned times to practice different sets of skills. These usually fit in during our off days or sometimes before/after a class. You can start clinicals as early as 6AM and end as late as 9PM, while classes usually start at 8AM earliest and end as late as 7:30PM (so far at least).
I am not working along with the program, but I do know a lot of friends in the program that are working and balancing jobs on the side, club organizations, and different roles on the campus (such as Resident Assistant) – and they do balance it well. Even with the clinicals and classes, you should still have at least 1-2 completely free days per week.
My experience has been a bit different than how it traditionally was with the COVID situation. Hope that helps!
