I have two children who are 9 and 11 and I'm a single mom. I'm also a cub scout leader, a Province Director for AGD and I work full time. Granted, I was not a single mom when my children were infants but I may as well have been since my (now) ex-husband was worked 70 hours a week. I have also been a full time college student and sorority member. Going to college full time is MUCH less demanding than a 40 hour/week job. In college, I had 10-15 hours of actual class time with about 10 hours of homework a week. It wasn't even close to working full time. IF I had financial support from my family or lived at home, joining a sorority while in school full time with an infant would have been FAR less stressful than working full time, having an infant, a house to maintain, and volunteering for AGD.
Everybody has different situations. Every University has different types of students. I'm fairly sure I posted this in the other thread before, but if you're at a commuter campus in an urban area, this situation wouldn't be all that rare. If you're at a traditional 4 year University in the South, it would be very rare.
It just depends.
