I have to say that I've had a wonderful time at the university. I played a varsity sport, was a member of a service fraternity, and still had plenty of time to devote to my studies. I found plenty of faculty willing to give their time and energy to help me. This especially true of my thesis advisor, who not only helped me with my research, but also helped me find grants to fund it. Too many students here, I think, fall into the self-fulfilling idea that there is nothing to do here and the professors don't care about them. They get convinced that this is true, and then spend the majority of their four years locked up in their room. There are plenty of opportunities here, a number of the varsity sports will accept freshman with little to no experience, there are tons of opportunities and grants given for research, and plenty of student groups to get involved in. We have brilliant professors in every field, and have strong programs in such a wide variety of areas. For instance, both the BME and the Writing Seminars programs are the top programs in the country.
