In this video i discuss what a typical day and schedule is like for an engineering student. I can't speak for all students but I do outline what my schedule was like and how much I worked.

Typically incoming engineering students are afraid that they will be overwhelmed with work and won't be able to have a life outside of school. The day in the life of an engineering student will differ from person to person, but many of the engineers I knew managed to find a balance between school and other activities.

A college day doesn't usually involve that much class (maybe around 4 hours on average), so it is important you use your free time and breaks to study or complete homework. Doing this will free up your time in the evening and night or at least reduce the amount of work you need to do.

Now be aware there will be semesters where you have a lot of units or you are taking very demanding classes. It is those times where you might be studying for 30-40 hours per week to try to stay caught up with everything. However, from experience not every week was this demanding, it just depends on your classes for that semester/quarter.
