grammar nazi ....With grammar like that, it will be difficult for you.
It's really not bad. I do a double degree and if you just go to lectures, go to tuts and do the homework you'll be sweet. They expect 10 hours of study per 10 unit subject. So, say you had a 2 hour lecture and a 2 hour tutorial, you're expected to put in 6 hours of study which really isn't that much.
That being said, if you have to work/support yourself/clean your own house/buy your own food/cook your own food/expect a social life, it can prove to be quite difficult at times (especially week 5 and exam period)
Also, this semester I'm only doing 3 subjects and it is a dream compared to 4 subjects. An absolute dream... aaaahhhhhhh
SORRY im not the best at english.
egotistical much?

what are you combining law with and what are you taking honours in?yep. that's what happens when you do combined degrees, then take an extra year to do honours. By the time it comes to completing the second degree, it can be a struggle. However unfortunately I need the second degree for my career.

Does that mean everyone's proud of you if you study an Arts subject?
I combined with arts and did Honours in ancient history

It all depends on what degree you're doing. I do biomed and I never get essays or take home assessments. It's all quizzes, tests and exams. I get the odd practical write-up or scientific report (but they're quite simple once you know how to do them).
In terms of other degrees, I have no idea.

Re: What's the workKoad at uni?
As with anything, you get out it, what you put in. The more you enjoy it, the better you will do at it. No course is easy and all of them require varying degrees of effort. Think about what you would actually enjoy doing rather than picking a course with a lower workload.
Uni is pretty cool though. As with school there are heaps pf extracurricular activities and clubs to join.

university life is pretty good. at some universities for example you get the information for the assignment at the beginning at the semester. at the moment i have 2 weeks where i have 3 assignments/assessments due each week. the workload really varies.
