<p>As much as I love the KLLC, I think it is important to acknowledge the downsides of living there.</p>
<p>Competition is exaggerated because you can never get away from it–like in high school, we were competitive, etc., but you could come home and relax. As a KLLC resident, I come back to the dorm and through the wall hear the girl next door screaming at her mom on the phone, “NO MOM, THREE Bs IS NOT OKAY.” I sit there thinking, “Three Bs really isn’t a big deal” and then quickly realize, “**** man, if I had three Bs I’d kill myself.” There’s so much pressure and so much competition. In the KLLC, everyone is in the same classes and striving for the same things (like the Business Honors Program, for example). It gets really intense. I would say that the KLLC is a very high-stress environment. I personally thrive off that but I know others, especially as freshman, may not.</p>
