Also a Couchie freshman here!

I occasionally find myself frustrated with a paucity of intellectualism, especially in classes. This might be because I’ve only taken lower-level classes so far, but it’s sucked to be the only person contributing to discussions. There are, however, pockets of really intellectual people - and people are on average pretty intelligent. My two best friends here were accepted to schools like Penn and WashU, but ended up coming here due to financial issues. That said, I might be transferring out due to student apathy, so I would look further at that.

Social life is great. No question. It’s small enough to be cozy and large enough to have people you’ve never met on campus.

I find Couch a little overwhelming, but it’s a lot of fun. If you’re a guy, first floor doesn’t get much sleep. I’m pretty fortunate in that I got second floor, which is the only co-ed floor in the school. Hardin was really tight this year, and it’s actually more of a stoner dorm than Couch (despite the stereotype.) Martin is less Martin then it’s ever been, so fourth floor is a good party/work balance.
