"The general rule of thumb regarding college studying is, and has been for a long time, that for each class, students should spend approximately 2-3 of study time for each hour that they spend in class.  Many students carry a course load of 15 credits, or approximately 15 hours of class time each week.  Doing some simple math indicates that your student should be spending roughly 30 hours of study time and 15 hours in class.  This 45 hours is the equivalent of a full time job - the reason that your student is called a full time student.  For many students, this number is a surprise. "

CONCORD - Banning guns on college campuses violates the Constitutional right to bear arms, argued those who came out Thursday to support legislation lifting such bans at the state's public colleges and universities. The bill, HB 334, has been passed by the House and went before a state Senate panel Thursday.

A Utah college is allowing students to carry concealed weapons on campus if they have a permit. There is an ongoing debate of whether or not more schools should convert to this policy or whether it would be safer for there to simply be no fire arms on campus.

Officials of State Universities are not pleased with the two house bills in Arizona State legislation. The purposed bills would relax current gun restrictions, explicitly on college campuses. According to local University officials combining guns and campuses is a bad idea. One official indicated that mixing guns and college campuses takes away from a safe learning atmosphere.
