In summary, do not go here for an American undergraduate college experience. If you do choose to go here because of a prestigious program, understand that you are making a sacrifice to your health and social life. If you are here to get a degree/screw around, you can have a better experience elsewhere. If you are here for grad school, better hope that the hours slaving away doing research will net you a job other than a barista.
