How hard is it to juggle academics and social life at WashU?

<p>Wash U is intense, but it’s definitely manageable. I’m a premed, and I got a 4.0 both semesters on top of working 7 hours a week at the med school.</p>

<p>I have a ton of fun, but I’m kind of a recluse because I’m a gamer. I spend about 25 hours a week playing computer games. I game a lot with kids in my dorm, and sometimes with my friends back home, so I am not completely antisocial I guess.</p>

<p>I still have time to go out to dinners, hang out randomly, eat dinner with programs I am in, and attend student events like Lunar New Year festival. In college you have a ton of time, I try to do use all of my time wisely (for fun, or for study).</p>

<p>You HAVE to have fun or studying will burn you out.</p>

<p>EDIT: forgot to say, I’m going to be a sophomore next year.</p>
