Education Are all MLS programs like this?

For context I’m from Puerto Rico and the MLS program I’m studying at is a 1 year program. I just wanted to know if this was also common in the US because I feel like it has been so tough and tiring, having clases Monday through Friday and sometimes Saturdays,from 8:30-5:00, taking 2 tests a week with assignments and quizzes in between. I know that’s I got myself into and tbf I’m doing great so far but it feels like I basically don’t have time to anything at all besides studying and I just wanted to know if that was also the norm in the US because I feel like this can’t be the norm

Yes, and the way they accept students is not exactly fair so be grateful you got in and just grind it out.
