<p>You probably have already made your decision, but as a freshman student, I don’t see this place as an intellectual university. Yes, you can be an intellectual here and choose intellectual classes but as a whole this place doesn’t foster it. My standards may be arbitrary and useless to you, but it seems to me that the true hallmark of a true intellectual university is esoteric classes. At Chicago and University of Chicago, they offer Sanskrit classes; over here, they offer classes on French Porn, and if you love CS, then you’ll love the special brand of techie “intellectualism” here.</p>
