Can anyone tell me how many days and hours cadets are expected to work and how much it will impact social and uni life?
Depends on how you balance your time how fast you go through it. With my current arrangement I'm expected to work 4.5 days a week with 9-5pm work hours (I occasionally work overtime though it's mainly my choice since I'd be meeting up with a friend in the city at 6-6:30pm and whatnot). You do have to make quite a few sacrifices socially because you're pretty much working full time compared to your friends, but it is still possible to maintain it I guess. But yeah you pretty much start understanding how valuable weekends are tbh.
With uni it really depends on what you're looking for, like I'm sure you could be involved in a society (one of the guys I work with is a director for a uni society) and participate in case comps if you wanted to, so yeah. Academically it doesn't really seem like too much of a problem because Commerce isn't as strenuous as other courses but that's just my opinion.
If I were to compare me now to me before not much has changed except I've sacrificed more sleep (though for other reasons than the ones mentioned above), go out less and I play less LoL
