My son is a first year student (studying History), and has 12 hours of lectures/direct teaching time a week - he is expected (as a minimum) to spend three hours self-study for every hour of direct contact (that makes 48 hours a week).

He has tried for a part time job, but has been told by the (over 20) places he has applied to that they don't do term-time only jobs, as their busy times are over Christmas (I would much rather he, and so would he, had a job, as he always had part-time jobs in restaurants when he was in 5th and 6th Form)
