mae3x··on U of Michigan drops first-semester grades to ‘curb mental health crisis’
This schedule is no different than my schedule from 30 years ago and I don't consider it problematic at all. You frame it as 15+ hour days by including all aspects of their day as "work" but no normal adult includes their workout time and their social engagements as part of their work day.
