“I think he means sitting in a dorm room drinking, smoking pot, and having casual sex. Thats some peoples image of college.”
That’s also MANY people’s experience in college. Even so, that is NOT the case of a 13 year old in a community college. It’s not like mom drops her off Monday morning and then picks her up Friday afternoon. No. It’s more like she has a few hours of classes - mom drops her off just before the first one and picks her up just after the last one. Not much time for drugs, booze, and sex...unlike when high school lets out for the day.

LOL ... haven't been to college, eh? ... :-)
I don't know about others, but the "formula" that I remember from college days is that for every "one credit hour" of a course, you could figure three to four hours of study time. And a lot of that study time will be in the libary, or in some kind of study group with one or two others, and you'll either stay after your classes are done and spend time at the university library, or you'll squeeze some in between gaps in classes, some days maybe having three or four hours or more inbetween classes.
Sometimes you can have an 8 AM class, a gap of two hours, an 11 AM classe another gap of three hours and then a 3 or 4 PM class and then maybe you'll spend some time at the library until it closes at perhaps 11 PM. And in between all that, you'll grab some lunch and then a dinner and then some "kick-back time" -- and never leave the campus.
Oh, and don't forget "lab time" too.... and then time for taking care of some miscellaneous administrative details with the university, having to meet with advisors and professors from time to time ...
That would not be unusual.
AND ... that leaves a "whole lot of opportunity" for a "whole lot of other things" to happen, too ... :-)
