| Jeremy-- there is a designation of Magnum Cum Laude which requires you to get a certain number of As over a certain number of semesters. It's not an honor many get and not even one that many are all that aware of, but it's the closest thing to a rank we have. Basically, no, there are no ranks, I didn't evne know colleges have ranks.
2) ICs are as easy as anywhere else if not easier. You have to meet with the proper advisors and discuss with them why your concentration doesn't lie within a conventional concentration etc. Basically, considering that concentration filing is a 2 sheet one time deal basically, ICs are really not all that difficult but the idea is to have a clear set out plan and the ability to explain why your course of study can't be covered in some other way.
3) There are flaws with anyting in life, but there is nowhere I'd rather be and I wouldn't change where I am if I had the chance.
Brumaire--
There are several great venues nearby. Check out Lupos online and the shows listed on WBRU to check that out. As a guitar player I've had a hard time finding a band but others I know are pretty active in bands on campus. |
