Should I ask current students what they actually do on weekends?
Yes. Asking current students how they spend their weekends can help you understand what university life is actually like, including the time spent on classes and assignments, clubs, and part-time work. However, one student’s routine is not representative of everyone’s experience, so it is better to ask several students from different years or faculties and compare ordinary weekends with weekends before exams.
Key points
- Ask how much time students usually spend on classes and assignments.
- Ask about clubs, part-time work, and activities with friends.
- Separate questions about ordinary weekends from those about exam periods for a clearer comparison.
Things to check
- Because experiences differ by student, confirm formal schedules and program-specific details through the university’s official information.
