<p>Haha yes, of course it is. NU students are great about partying…more than you’d think, actually (I still am surprised at the number of my friends who go out every Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday EACH week), but they crack down when they need to. Especially around midterms/finals. And I only suffered through the intro econ classes, but A’s were definitely possible in them (I was about the same as you in HS and I managed A- and A, and the first one was one of the first classes I took at NU).</p>
