Engineering -- no days off. :(
Though I only have 1hr of class on Friday in term 1 and 2hrs in term 2. That's pretty lucky.

THREE days off?
That must mean you either didn't take a full course load, and if you did, your two days of classes are packed.
Personally, I'd rather have my courses spread out in little bits, such as 1-2 classes a day every now and then. Some of my days have one lecture and a tutorial, which I suppose is the closest thing I get to a day off, given that I skip my tutorials (which I probably wont)

It's perfectly reasonable to still have a day off in the week by taking a full course load. His program probably only requires 15 hours of classes each week. It's not unreasonable to put all that into 4 days. Don't forget, in high school you were in class for at least four or five hours a day.
Engineering on the other hand would be hard to balance in 4 days because you take 25 ish hours of class per week. I have no idea what you have to take in your program, but not all programs have the same number of hours of class, which might be why this seems too good to be true for you.
EDIT: Ohh, did you think he meant he has three days off DURING weekdays? He means with weekends, like Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

Ya he is probably including the weekend with it! There is no way he could have three weekdays. And if he did then I want to know what program and what courses

Yeah, during weekdays . As a Humanities kid, I believe I'm in class about 18 hours a week. That's what I was told.
If he's including weekends, then it's all cool hahaha

Its totally possible. In second year I had Tuesdays and Fridays off all year long. I was only on campus Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and I had 18 hours of class a week. It was great. This year I have Fridays off.

I have no classes Friday both semesters, all social work classes are three hours once a week, day or night. So I have an open timetable, kind of sucks though, have two three hour classes in a row on Wed, but oh well, people have it worse.
