I think it is better to be a full time student that to be a part time student and work part time. I say this because I believe there is more responsibilities, challenges and stress if you work part time and go to school part time. If one is a full time student, he or she can have more time and energy to do his or her schoolwork. In addition, a full time student can have better concentration on his or her studies. It is also can have more time with his classmates and go to tutoring center and get help. If someone has questions to his teacher he or she can have time to do that. However, if one goes to school part time and works part time, he or she can have more challenges to achieve her or his goals. Besides there is not enough time to finish your schoolwork. When you also come home from work, you can be tired and you do not have enough energy to do your assignments especially if you have many assignments. One can also have less motivation to read or write because he can be exhausted. In addition, it takes longer to graduate if you go to school part time. I prefer to go school as a full time student if you can afford it. To be a full time student you need support in daily life and it is not easy to do that. You do not survive only by going to school. You need to work to pay the bills and support yourself and your family. I have friends who go to school part time and work part time as well. They tell me how difficult it is to be good in both areas all the time. They tell me sometimes they have to miss work because of the exams and they are afraid not to lose their jobs.
