Obviously the amount you have to study depends on your course and on your year of study.

I'm in my 3rd year at the moment on a Computer Engineering degree. Over christmas I had 3 major assignments (several days of work each) as well as 6 exams to revise for. It's really a question of how much work you want to put in. In the first year I could get away with almost no study during the year, only before exams. 2nd year was much tougher and the 3rd year is harder still. So really you can get away with loads of gaming in 1st year, quite a lot in the 2nd year but not much in the 3rd year (final year for most people). I;ve got a 4th year to go aswell and this is gonna be even more work though fewer exams.
