I recommend you do a teaching degree followed by a law degree, no need to pass the bar exam though, and contribute to the delinquency of a child as a way of solidifying a substitute teaching position.

dont do drugs.............






















































seriously, it depends on the curriculum im aware some schools use block systems and others random testing at any time based on the course load. If its in a block format with designated exam schedules then yes you have free time, if not then no you dont have much time at all. It also depends on well you would like to do, as there is a minimum grade and some students do take advantage of this to actually have a life.

most schools have a probationary standing of 70-75 % average in all courses, you can stay there and still graduate. Some people do that, some people study for 90's and some for moderate marks,some people freak out and are overstressed and some dont care all that much. After all the years of undergrad you pretty much know how much effort you have to do to achieve a mark, thats all i meant by that.
