I have really great chemistry professors so far. Chemistry teacher-assistants are kind of disappointing for the most part. Most, but not ALL, science and math classes are based on curve, so one thing i realized is that it can be HARD competing against people who took AP chemistry. Of course, hard work = success. I’m only a first year biochem so that’s all I can say about that.

Your question wasn’t that specific so ill keep it somewhat general.

Social life depends on you as a person and how you get your work done, discipline, etc.

If you balance study and play. there’s time for everything. I have plenty of time for suitemates, off campus activities etc. I’m not an owl, so I do homework in the mornings (rare for college kids, since many can’t even wake up before 10) and study in the afternoons. Night-time is my free time, but for many, that’s when they begin to work. So again, it depends on you.

Yes, there are stressful time. Yes, there are days when i just study, but even with that said, I’ve always been able to squeeze in time to chill.
