My S works hard but has a lot of fun also and is not stressed. Administation works hard to de-stress students. My S has gotten a lot more B+'s then he was used to, not as easy to get all A’s as high school and he was in a competitive HS with a lot of AP’s. He is thrilled with his classes and professors though. Classes are not that hard but the work is much more time consumming, lots of 15 page papers, some classes have a book a week and a paper a week to do. There is a true collaborative feeling no compepition, students work together. It is a truly amazing school and the other students make it, such brilliant but non-assuming students.
