i dont do architecture but i can give you some general unsw info.

i have a friend doing arch and he gets a LOT of assignments, or just some assignments that take ages to do! he often does all-nighters at uni to complete his assignments. though this may not be the case for you if you plan your time well.

the only real way to reduce your study time is to overload in units each semester.
i.e. each semester you're supposed to do 24 units, but you could overload it with 27 units.

I'm currently studying the B Architecture/B Arts degree at UNSW.

It's a pretty tough course in terms of workload, but it's fun because you end up spending so much time with your friends. Architecture is like a never-ending sleepover! You spend so much time at uni and at each others houses!

I've never spent a night at uni, but i've had a few nights with friends over at my house for all-nighters and they are some of the best nights i've had during the course.

B Arts (as would B Social Science) starts in 3rd year. You can cut down on the years by taking Summer/Winter courses or overloading as elfm said.

In regards to what xxPanDa asked about doing languages at uni, you can do B Arts and graduate with a Major in a language, or you can do it as electives.

I'm really enjoying my course so far so I would recommend this course if you are interested in it.

For any other questions, feel free to PM me =)
