With online classes, you don’t have the most strict schedule, nor do you spend any time walking (or running) to class like we normally would on campus. I wake up around 7:30 am for my 8:00am class, then go right into my 9:30 am and 11:00 am classes. Today is a Tuesday, so I have three classes back to back and need to be awake for classes through Zoom. I only have class two days a week, and the other three days I work my internship remotely (here at Illinois Online!).

Follow along below to see what a day in my life looks like as well as a few tips on taking online courses from my friends! Like many other students, I hadn’t planned on taking courses fully online, but I’ve quickly found that it is totally doable and can be really fun once you get organized and know your responsibilities for each day. Hi there! My name is Kendall, and I’d like to give you a look at the day in the life of an online college student.
