  • Jan-05-2012 I am a current student here

    Freshman year is a year to get used to college life, but they gave me 5 classes, 2 of which required labs, so i could not take i break. I was constantly studying and barely slept since i was not used to my new environment yet, and its hard getting used to something that you are bombarded with.

    There is a huge party atmosphere here, and the oddity is someone that doesn't smoke pot or cigarettes.
