<p>Nope, not boring at all. Admittedly, it is a lot of work and you have to truly enjoy learning, studying, your classes, etc. if you want to enjoy your time here. However, there is always free time for fun – as Graham hinted at, the house system is fantastic at making socializing easy and provides an easy source of entertainment. Outside of that, there are different social events of all kinds to do whatever it is that you want to do. Club frisbee (amazing group of people), MUNIC, Vegan Society… the list goes on and on. There’s also unstructured fun… you’re bound to find a group of friends here that you become close to. There’s downtown Chicago about 20 minutes away by CTA, frat and house parties if you’re into that (don’t hate it before you try it, you’d be surprised by how un-fratty the frats are here)… trust me, you won’t be bored.</p>
