The Bad:
rainy

full of people straight off the boat from asia that dont speak english

full of stuck up people

lacking in parties because everybody can go to bars

anti-student because they kick almost everybody out of residence after the first year

Campus is huge so you have to walk very far to get anywhere

Expensive food

The Good:
Well ranked

Good skiing

this always annoyed the shit out of me. Some people are gifted and pick up concepts a helluva lot quicker than others. You have to be damn smart to be able to have much free time, in your junior/senior+ years. i have a feeling you are one of those kids. And the worst part is that most of the time they dont realize how much easier it is for them.

For the most part, the most difficult concepts (all of the calc, physics, statics/dynamics, fluids) are covered in your first two years of an engineering curriculum. And I studied my ass off, but I always made time for skiing. Dick.

well if you enjoy doing engineering than it shouldnt be too hard, and like someone stated above its only hard in the first courses where they are weeding out all the kids who arent smart enough

where the fuck did you go to school? The last two years where you take all the electives required soooo much more work, and conceptually were far more difficult than the pre reqs.

The last two years i had a couple semesters where i would literally have like 2 hours of free time per week where i wouldnt be studying, eating, or sleeping at night.

and like i said, the ones who are natuarally better at it, usually dont realize how much easier it is for them.

I went to Cornell. Ever heard of it? I graduated in four years, I never studied once, I was drunk the whole time, and I sang in the a capella group, "Here Comes Treble".


But seriously, UVM. i have skied 4-5 days a week while being a full time student, and i'm graduating a semester early.

3 days a week at Mt.Hood all year round

Going to Portland State University, great business college and fine arts with a good medical field and engineering.

Mt.Hood on week days is great very little people, but everyone is really chill

good luck with the edumacation

Its time management son, I know people who study 10 hours everyday and dont get shit done. Where as I scheduled to have friday-monday off. I have class three days a week, do 5 hours of homework each of those days, normally either ski or study friday, ski saturday do homework 7-10, same deal sunday and then study until 5pm monday and go night skiing. Not that hard just figure it out. First semester I studied everyday, and my grades are better this semester with skiing, I personally need the time outside and I just make good use of my time otherwise.

when i was in school, almost all of my 3 credit classes, were MWF so it was sometimes possible to get tues/thurs off but those days were normally spent in my profs office, or in the comp lab working with others to get shit done.

And there are few things more frustrating than spending 2-3 hours on something and getting almost nowhere. Time managment is great and all, but a lot of times just trying to figure out how to do the damn problems takes most of the time, let alone actually working them.

I am not trying to complain about not being as smart as other(im in the 50th percentile from my experience in terms of intelligence), i learned to accept it and try and work with them as much as i could. I just think that when folks like logan make it seem easy to do engineering and ski 3-4 days a week, it is misleading. I can see getting in 2 days a week if you are really busting your ass, but then your social life is totally shot.

I would definitly say that you wouldnt want to do engineering if you planned to ski a bunch in college.
