It all depends on what you're studying. I had a friend who majored in art history and she arranged her schedule so that she had Mondays and Fridays off. On top of that, she only had 15 hours of class a week (5 hours per day). Emma has enough money to jet to LA on Friday and return on Monday if she wanted to and I really doubt she's doing a time-intensive major like engineering or something that requires lecture and laboratory hours. She's probably studying something like literature or English, which in my experience, you rarely have to go to class because you just have to read the book and write an essay on it.
