Good, but Too Many Intro Requirements and Freshmen Gen Eds
For the most part, I learned a lot from my professors. All were very caring and were willing to meet out of class. Some of my classes just weren't college-level- I'd say I had at least two classes a semester that were filled with busy work or just memorizing facts. Some of my teachers just taught with powerpoints, and really didn't take advantage of the smaller class sizes. I came from a very competitive school- so it was disappointing when I felt that my classes weren't helping me to excel.
Another problem I had was the freshman required classes. I felt that I wasted time takign college writing and statistics when I could've been filling my time with more challenging classes. It wouldn't have bothered me as much if the classes had not beeen so easy and I had learned something new.
I'd say, overall, the workload isn't bad at all. I really did not have that much homework- and because of this I had a lot of time to socialize.
If you're smart and care about academics, research opportunities, and challenging classes, apply as an incoming freshman to the honors programs (ome you can't transfer into after you're enrolled) or apply to Periclean scholars. This will give you the challenge you need if you're used to a more challenging class load.
