I’m an early riser, but not all people are. Some people are more awake in the afternoons, some people don’t really wake up until the evenings. So, how come all full-time education seems to start around 9am-10am?

I know that night school is a thing, but that’s really targeted at people who want to study over many years around their other commitments (e.g. a day job). I’m talking about full-time three- or four-year bachelor’s degrees and above (though exactly the same logic applies to all education really). Surely there’s enough demand for at least a couple of top-class full-time education establishments that don’t even open their doors until lunchtime?

    Your schedule start times depends on the courses you choose. For core classes, there are usually multiple offerings of the same course by different professors at different times of the day. So if you want to start at noon as a freshman, you probably could if you design your schedule for the semester that way.

    For upper level major-specific courses, if it’s a small to medium sized program these may be offered once per semester or even once per year, so you’re much more at the mercy of the professor’s schedule.

      Or if it’s a complete program for a profession like nursing or medicine, you wake up when the professors damn well say you do.
