Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the college! It truly makes a difference when you can talk to professors and students and experience the campus for yourself.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You will get your butt kicked. I graduated Valedictorian of my high school class, and I am proud of my (Harvard Grading Scale) GPA of 3.5.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
