Is anyone else feeling like the 3-trimester pace at SIT is unsustainable?

Serious question from a current student — I've been feeling the trimester grind pretty hard lately and wanted to see if others are in the same boat.

Back-to-back trimesters with barely any real break means I'm constantly playing catch-up. By the time I feel like I've absorbed one module properly, the next one's already dropping. I know SIT's trimester system is designed to pack more learning in, but I'm curious:

  • Does anyone else feel like they're just surviving rather than learning?
  • Have you found any study habits or routines that actually help with the pace?
  • Is this just a "first-year / new-to-SIT" thing that gets easier later?

Happy to hear from any year — T1, T2, whoever. Not looking to complain, just genuinely interested in what's working for people.
