For most undergrads, particularly during the first two years (for most students), the time you actually have to spend - even to guarantee straight A's - is a joke. I work in Higher ed after earning my own undergrad, and supervised students for a few years afterward.

I learned how to work ahead of time, and my last semester of undergrad, I was literally done with school three or four weeks in advance (studied in advance for my exams, etc). I showed up to classes and played games on my laptop while half-listening. It wasn't hard to get that far ahead - I actually spent 30 hours a week (including class time) actually devoted to my studies, 15 hours a week working, and etc for the rest.

This isn't the case for Engineering/Hard science/Math/Stat/Nursing (i'm surprised how rigorous a serious BSN program is)/Pre-Med and quite a few other degree paths. I chose a pithy history/political science major.

I'm currently taking calc 2 while working full-time and realizing why some of my friends in more technical majors spent so much time studying.
