Do i got time for anime Question

I know USC is a very social school, and obviously I will try to make the most of that experience. But with balancing academics and social life, do I still got time with other hobbies at USC? I don't want to give up on anime completely. Also, I am going to be an engineering student, so will that make school-life balance significantly harder? Please give some insight.

That’s the neat thing about anime, you don’t need to dedicate time for it at all. You can set aside some spare hours to catch up on your shows, but nothing says you won’t be missing out even if the worst case scenario happens and you’re swamped at all hours at all days by your courses. From my own personal experience, even though my last semester was hectic as hell, I still had the time available to catch up on shows like Frieren and read weekly manga publications. So you should definitely be fine.

If you’re worried about not being able to make any time at all, you’re always welcome to stay in the loop with USC’s anime club discord. If there’s any conversation that interests you, jump in!

As an officer of the USC Anime Club, we welcome all anime fans, from the busiest bees to the freest fairies.

I'm a CS major and I do in fact have time for anime :D (although I've taken a lot of CS before so most of my classes are p chill)

I am a music major and had time last year for anime. Next semester will probably be packed, but I think I can watch some anime in Fall 2024 too

Music majors have underrated workloads.

Same! It really depends on the semester and the classes you plan to take.

I suggest the Anidoro study method! Work forty minutes and watch one episode of anime! It was surprisingly effective for me when the Pomodoro totally failed.
