Each semester, the decision to sleep in late or have an afternoon of freedom is usually the difference between choosing early and night classes.
The choice can be difficult when students try to balance school with their social lives, work and other extracurricular activities.
When asked, seven out of 10 students said early classes are more beneficial. Taking early classes allow students to finish their school obligations in the morning, which gives them free time in the afternoon. Some said they feel more refreshed and alert in the morning because they are not worn out from the day.
Thomas Johnson, a third-year biology student from West Palm Beach, said even though he is not a morning person, he would take early classes.
You can break up the workload with early classes, Johnson said. But with night classes, the workload is heavy because sometimes work can be due the same day.
Most students who take night classes do so because they enjoy going to class later in the day. Others do it because they have work or internships during the day.
ForDAndreJohnson, a second-year pre-physical therapy student from Atlanta, having night classes once a week is a more convenient option.
It gives you more time to study, he said.
Some students prefer either early classes or evening classes. However, there are students who prefer neither.
Tony Covington, a third-year biology pre-med student from Orlando, said he has early and night classes but would rather have classes midday.
I dont like early classes because I cant wake up in the morning, and I dont like night classes because sometimes I get tired, Covington said.
Usually the scheduling of classes depends on students needs and how well they manage their time. According toDougla-KhanStancil, coordinator of Clinical Programs, it depends on the student.
Hopefully they look at what they have in place and manage their classes based on that,Stancilsaid.
