In some ways. There are classes, papers, tests, grades, books and all the rest. Worship and prayer are a central to seminary life. God is part of daily life. Many seminarians find the atmosphere in seminary more caring and family-like than what they experienced in college.
Do seminarians have any free time?
Seminarians budget their own time. It is up to each seminarian to attend to his or her classes, participate in daily worship and other community activities without fail, and devote adequate time to studying. Seminarians often have blocks of free time in the afternoons and evenings. They usually are entirely free on weekends and Sunday afternoons (after church). Of course on holidays, vacations, and between semesters, seminarians are free.
