I’m taking college online courses and are pretty intense engineering courses while I will be doing BLC ( just planning to go BLC ). I was Wondering if i will have personal time ( about 4-5 hours ) everyday to attend my online college courses and projects in the evenings. Will I be going to the woods for days in BLC to conduct training ?
Thans for the pointers in advance.

As for me, our average day at BLC would end at 1800. However, we had homework everyday and would finish around 2100 at the latest. I had first formation at 0430 the next morning. So that should give you an idea. (This is with the BLC implementation. I went to BLC in September 2018)

Just finished the BLC few months ago. The best thing I can tell you is as follow. Sunday’s are off days. If you leave prepared with everything you need uniforms dress blue etc. You should be fine and won’t have to spend that extra time getting squared away. It’s your course your time you run it how you seem fit as a collective. It’s also more college based now with essays and assignments as well. 0600-1700 is your day of class and you do get some time to your self after class but believe most likely will spend it doing work for the blc course.

I made the time I also do online school and working on my masters. Just get focused and put the work in from day one and you will do just fine and it won’t interfere with your school. Time management !

That is very true. Time management is very effective however the time you have off and the amount of time you have off also depends on where you go. Every school house is different. Great answer! Just do research first! And be prepared. Understand that not every school house is the same

No. There was only one day in the field for us. Normally out of class by 1700, but there is homework. Not everyday, but fairly often. Additionally, Sunday's are off days and M-Sat are work days. 0550 normally for PT until 0650-7. If you manage your time well and don't procrastinate, you should be fine.
