Feels totally like a high school, all the blue lockers and the high school-esque hallways and doors. xD

The BU111 (your first business course) has a 3.5 hr midterm. I forget about the next one, BU121. But that one (or two) exams is the ONLY time you'll ever write a 3.5 hr business exam. Finals aren't even that long. And by 2nd year midterms are generally 2 hours. I think they just try to psych people out with that exam cuz its your first one.

You'll actually be happy that you get a 3.5 hour exam! More time to write! And no, not everything is short answer. The format is usually M/C, short answers, calculations.

There are quite a few 3 hour exams if I remember correctly.
