> Getting BS in anything is a lot of work. Getting STEM degree is a fucking lot work. I had to work 60 – 80 hours a week as a CS senior. it's a classical YMMV thing. It really depends on the person, the work attitude, personal interest in topics and speed you can pick stuff up. I managed to get my degree with good grades with an average of 10 hours/week and maybe 2-4 weeks of 60-80 hours workload each year. I also worked part time alongside. I'm not the type to do regular 60-80 hours weeks, so full-time work would definitely not have been my thing, but 10-20 hours of work and 10-20 hours of studying with a few busy weeks of exam preparations or finishing project work, felt very good for me.
