The school uses terms (5 per year) rather than semesters, so each course is 8 weeks (plus 4 days for finals) rather than the usual 15 weeks plus finals week.
30 hours per week for just 2 courses? Are these courses covering more than a typical university?
In my undergrad, I took a minimum of 5 courses per semester (16-20 credits). Scaling from your expectations, that would be 60-80 hours per week? I doubt I went over 40/week, including lectures (admittedly, it wasn't a demanding university).
Just giving you my 2 cents so you don't assume that the time you spent per course is all that different from a traditional university.
