<p>I am a mom, my D just finished her Freshman year and is flying home today!! My impression is that there is a lot of work (it’s college), but it is not like they are in the library all the time. I was talking to a friend who is a professor at a state school here in Ca, and when I told her what my daughter was doing for one of her classes, she said that it sounded like grad school work compared to what she gave her students.
However, there are also many opportunities to have fun. Greek life is strong and parties are frequent. The key is to be able to manage your time and not let the work or fun take over.</p>
