Academics

Many courses are more difficult than I'd anticipated, but mostly they don't feel impossible. Professors will prove helpful if you fall behind, but won't generally tolerate disruptive or slacking students. On the other hand, I've heard of professors who just can't be bothered to assign anything that'd be difficult to grade, so...it's a mix, I suppose. Also, there're several professors who are Harvard, Yale, or otherwise Ivy League graduates teaching here.
