<p>Well said, brebeuff.</p>
<p>My S is a freshman at NU and, whether due to work load or evolving time management adjustments, he missed a home football game because … he had work to do. Oh, the horror! Not. He survived the experience. Thus far, he says the work load is pretty much what he expected for the Integrated Science Program. I haven’t heard major complaints from him. We’ll test the waters when we see him face to face for T Day. </p>
<p>As for this issue, I’m betting S would be in the “what’s the big deal here?” camp.</p>
<p>ETA: He just called on the phone. He’s not going to Harry Potter this evening because … the timing is bad for him, work wise, and thus not worth it to him to see it opening night. He said he’d catch it later. I see some good decisions being made here, I like, I like!</p>
