i'm a senior in high school and i'm going to college next year. i'm a little confused on the whole hour consept, can somebody explain it to me? when they say that a class is three hours, does that mean three hours a day, three hours a week or what? and if you're taking 15 hours a semester, does that mean that you have 15 hours of class every week? i don't get it.
oh, and plese no "i dunno, i have never gone to college, but i think..." answers. (link)

For every "hour" you spend in class, you're expected to spend 2 hours outside of class studying and/or doing homework.
So if you've got a 15 hour creditload, it's really a 45 hour work week.
At least, that's the typical explanation I've heard.
I have had 3 "hour" classes that I only spend 2 hours a week in class, and don't need to study 6 hours for, so it's not a totally accurate definition... but that's what the colleges tell you the "hours" mean.
