Full time student just means you take 12 or more credits per semester, so I was in class for 3-5 hours depending on the day, I'd go work 6 hours after school, come home and go straight to the gym and then play poker after that. I was pretty busy all week, no doubt there.
As far as food and rest is concerned, I eat 2100 calories per day (I weigh 230lbs and am 6'2") or more if I did cardio. Sleep was borderline with usually 6 hours per night, more on rest days.
For workouts I had a 3 day split with one day off at the end and then do it again so 6 workouts a week. Normally I do a push/pull/legs or chest/arms, back and shoulders, legs.
Just as an example, for chest/arms I would do the following:
5 sets of 10-12 slight incline dumbbell bench press
4 sets of 8-10 machine flat bench press
3 sets of 12 -15 reps of cable flies
3 sets of 10-12 tricep pushdowns
3 sets of 10-12 single arm reverse grip tricep extensions
3 sets of 8-10 alternating dumbbell curls
Quadruple dropset finisher of 10 reps each single arm db. Hammer curls
On days I work I would eat 650 calories before work, have 300 on break, and 700 when I get home for dinner. I'd have a whey shake after each workout (~250 calories)
