Some students manage to squeeze their timetable to go to uni as little as possible such as just 3 days a week, that's a whole four days free!! You must think GEE that's a lot of free time left, doesn't even sound like a full time student! You might think that that's a lot of days to sleep in, play games, shopping, catch up with friends you name it! Yes technically that's true, it is important to have some free personal time to yourself and some people like those free days because that means they can fit in a casual/part time job on the side. However, be careful! Although you're at uni only 3 days a week hypothetically, that's not all that's required of you.
To successfully pass all of your units, you must commit a lot of hours outside class! It requires you to take responsbility to allocate time to start on assignments, do homework or go over what you've learnt that week. Espescially for units that are more demanding than others. It is extrmely important to be able to balance out uni, extra study time and your own personal time. It's easier said than done though, its not an easy task to do. If you can though try your best to effectively work out which schedule works for you.
Such as if you have a break in between classes but you know you work best at uni only, then use that time between classes to go over your homework or assignments (every little bit of time put towards your uni work counts!). Or simply use that to take a small break to grab a coffee or bite to eat and then after class head home and do the work as long as each day you are inputting time to each element that's important; work, uni & personal.
The end lesson here is to not underestimate the workload that's required of you and how long it takes for you to finish an assignment. You may think oh i have a whole two weeks to do it and then BAM you realise it's due in just a few days.. time sometimes does fly quickly. The sooner you use your breaks wisely or work out which schedule works for you, the less you will be doing all nighters, be less stressed and become a more organised student.
