Current students - Comments on Caltech thread?

<p>As a frosh, I feel like the workload has been more than reasonable so far. On days when I concentrate, I usually have some extra hours.</p>

<p>I spend most my free time hanging out with people around my dorm or wasting time on stupid internet sites (like this one!), but I could conceivably spend it doing something more useful. One of my frosh friends has spent upwards of 50 hours over the last month planning a new 5C party. A junior I know brews beer. If you’re passionate enough about something, you can probably find the time to make it happen.</p>

<p>That being said, things get pretty hectic at the end of the semester with projects and papers coming due. I should mention also that Sophomores I know have much less freetime/sleep, which is mainly a combo of brutal Sophomore core classes and weed-out classes in their respective majors. Juniors and Seniors seem to have a bit more time than Sophmores, though it can really varies with their classes for the semester.</p>
