I'm a straight male first year; academically this school is incredible. I love my classes, the work is stimulating and rewarding, and the professors are almost always at your fingertips when you need them. I get to know all of my professors and develop good personal relationships with them and get to clear up every thing I don't understand in class in our bi-monthly meetings. My only complaints about the classes is that if you're not doing writing or arts, its a little difficult to find classes that are interesting if you're not into learning about third world countries (especially Econ and History)…everything is about Africa or Latin America. In psych, its all about children which is kind of a drag.

The Social life here is ABSOLUTE garbage. The kids here are some of the most pretentious people I've ever been exposed to. Everyone is out to prove themselves as some new up and coming tortured artist (when most of them are rich kids who's biggest struggle is living in a dorm instead of their penthouses and mansions), or some kind of philosopher. The big thing here is talking about Nietzsche constantly and it gets obnoxious when you're trying to have a normal conversation and some hipster pseudo-intellectual has to try to somehow incorporate Kant and Nietzsche into it. Kids are standoffish and entitled; they think that they have it so much worse than everyone else and need to tell everyone. Every person here has a geometric shape tattoo as well (especially triangles) and make sure you see them. Its unfortunate, but if it weren't for the amazing education here, I would transfer immediately.
