I am a pretty regular kind of guy in my opinion, i don't like to play video games all the time i would like to be a bit more active. Unless you are more of an outstanding kind of person, this school is not the correct place for you. You must be very active in seeking out opportunities for yourself. They CERTAINLY will not come to you which i have found out. I feel the course load is really not too bad so far, however the social life as of thus far has been nothing short of absolutely horrible. I find myself being stuck in the dorms on my weekends with absolutely nothing to do. There is nowhere we can really go other then walk around campus (which gets boring after the 5th time). What i am saying is unless you are really active in sports do not attend this school, or unless you are fine with just sitting in your room and playing video games the entire time (I am neither of those).
