Well that's why some people also study from books, the internet, cds watch television etc. to supplement their class. I actually think one and a half hour's class per day is fine for a lot of people. I admit the courses I did had 4 hours daily, but I did that because the courses were for 2 or 3 weeks. If the OP want a longer period to study I think doing too many classes per day could be counter-productive, and they'd soon get cheesed off. Still, horses for courses! Nothing stoping him/her booking a course with more hours per week. In fact I've known people do 4 hours class in the morning and then have a private class in the afternoon.

Re: Should I make the move? (employment concerns)

Thanks for all the responses, looks like I'll have to rough it here for another couple years. Since someone asked, no I don't have dual citizenship. My situation in the US is very complicated and stressful, and it's not something I chose. My job sucks, my house sucks, this town sucks, and really all that could be fixed by moving to a different state but I have a worsening condition that requires surgery I can't afford because I'm not eligible for healthcare

Sorry I don't mean to whine, I just need an outlet.
