Maclean’s surveyed more than 10,000 students at 100 universities across Canada in the late summer and early fall of 2015 on how many hours a week they spent studying. We calculated an average for each school, rounded to the nearest thousandth, using the number of hours per week divided by the number of respondents from each school. A minimum of 50 responses per school was required for inclusion. For a photo gallery of the top 20 click here. To see the schools where students said they party the most click here.
