Feels like a great environment conductive of research and learning. I have met a lot of very smart and friendly people. However a lot of my time has been with other graduate students. I get the feeling the undergraduate student body is what you'd expect. A decent number of well off kids with over extravagant cars. However there are cool pockets of people all over the place. Its not hard to meet some of them and connect to others.

Some classes seem to forget that they're not the majority of my semester goal (I still have other classes and research!). Although the workload reflects this the grades at the end of the semester seem to keep in mind you can't give the class 100%.

Research has been great, faculty is very interesting in doing research with almost any student and most have money for assistantships! If not the TA assistantship package is nice too!
