The Pros and Cons of Being a Night Student

...while not having a job and any decent reason to be a night student.

I've been thinking about this for a little bit lately, as I am currently a night student without a job, and therefore no reason to be a night student beyond, I had a job. For a while I have bounced between "this sucks" and "this is great!" Here are some of my thoughts on the matter:

Cons:
  • Class until 8 or 9PM every night of the week, including Fridays.
  • Club meetings are scheduled during class time.
  • Happy hours are scheduled during class, and even if they are still running after class, all the drink tickets are gone.

Pros:

  • One less (4 credit) class to worry about.
  • Can spend a virtually uninterrupted period of time studying.
  • A greater appreciation for a free Friday evening is developed (probably the weakest pro).

Thoughts about the pros and cons? I am especially interested to hear a day student's take on it.
