I have to say, after reading some of the comments on here I was compelled to write my own critique, even though I am only a first year student in the college. I'll try to cover the basics.

I knew what I was getting myself into by coming here. When I have a problem set, paper, and lab due the next day, I remind myself that I chose to come here.

However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of fun to be found on campus. Perhaps this is because I am a first year and everything is so new to me. I decided to join a sport I had never played before and was whole-heartedly welcomed on the team. That's what I love about this place, you can pick almost anything up. I found people to socialize with easily, there is always a concert, movie, or interesting talk happening on campus. Some of this has to do with the dorm I live in. I am very close to the main quad and somehow lucked out with a friendly bunch of people on my floor.

Class wise, I took three instead of the standard four classes because I did not want to get overwhelmed. I feel challenged, but am definitely not dying.
