<p>Hi, I’m an NJGSS '11 alum and I can’t even emphasize enough that these are going to be the BEST three weeks of your life.
In response to your questions:
How much free time do we have?
–A good amount. You go to your classes every morning (except Wednesdays, which you have off), then lunch, and then to either lab or team project. You might need to work on team projects/ problem sets outside of class but you’re technically free after 4:30ish.
How do meals work?
–You get three meals a day. I’m going to be real with you: the food isn’t good. But it’s a conversation starter for the first few days. There are set times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner but they’re reasonable. Dinner was kind of early (at least if you ask me), but you’ll deal. By the second week, I had a box of poptarts that I would just eat on my way to my first class and every now and then, my friends and I would go out for dinner in Madison.
Do they have activities for us or do we get to roam free?
–There are some “highly-nonoptional” events (the talent show, college fair, career day), but they’re a lot of fun so you really wouldn’t miss them anyway. Apart from that, sometimes the counselors will put something fun together (we had an entire-govschool wide manhunt game, as well as a trip up to the observatory on campus, a ghost tour), but they aren’t mandatory. Free time is petty unstructured.
How do you get assigned roommates?
–Haha well, Surace (the person who does this) has a bit of a sense of humor, so last year, anyone with the same name dormed together. But really, it’s random. And I don’t know anyone who didn’t like their roommate and I think a few people had singles.
Is it true that drew is haunted?
–Haha, you’ll have to find out for yourself
