How rigorous is the grading? If you fall behind, due to inexperience with the Exeter workload, are you dead in the water and doomed to failure? How quickly can you get help from teachers or peers?
What is the college counseling like? Are you mostly on your own if you aren’t in the top 10% destined for the ivies?
What has been your greatest disappointment vs. expectations?
Do the internationals pull their weight in class or in small group projects? I have heard horror stories of scholarshipped internationals in other prestigious schools basically just floating through on some diversity mandate and never actually doing the work.
