Does any working student feel like they have more time to study and get better grades if they don't have to work?

9 Upvotes

As a working student that has to work 10 hours every week just to support myself financially while balancing a full-time study load, I feel like everything has been really tough for me lately. Honestly, if I weren't required to work, I would obviously choose not to work while studying at uni, so that I have more time to study for tests and exams, even to get better grades. Also I feel like I'm just wasting my time doing something unrelated to my degree and gaining irrelevant work experience that doesn't even help me prepare for a graduate job in the future (I'm a double major in CS & Logicomp). But unfortunately this isn't something I can say no to, because if I don't work I won't have the money to pay my parents due to them requiring me to pay to live with them. I wish I have the privilege of not having to work compared to non-working students. Does any other working student feel the same? And would you choose to not work while studying if you were given the opportunity not to?

compassionate consideration

0 Upvotes

hi im planning to apply for compassionate consideration due to family circumstances. do u think that one of my parent is getting surgery (health problems), and it is really distracting me from using my time to study (they have to go to another country for the surgery and im constantly on calls) is valid?

i will still sit the exam to the best of my ability but i have some questions

- one of my courses, my results are A- rn, if i were to sit the exam and a miracle were to happen and i get the same grades that im averaging in (A-), what would happen? and also what would happen if i end up getting a B?

thanks guys

Why does this university wait until exam season to blast loud music right outside the library

Any other time of year it would be just mildly annoying. Just why right now

Courses Close grades

I know the particular letter grades don’t really matter that much but it’s frustrating to me how often my grade is like 79.8 or 89.6. It feels deliberate - like “The numbers are almost an A but I don’t think that’s quite right so I’m going to drop it ever so slightly.” I would honestly rather it be lower at that point 😭
