4 classes a semester. if you take labs, they’re usually on top of the 4 classes, but it’s not unheard of to take 3 classes and 1 or 2 labs. 5 classes is doable and not as rare as you’d think, but much tougher. we science kids are just the same as everyone else, though most science people i know try to have at least one non-science class per semester to spice things up.
foss hill. it’s like the beach, but looking over the sports field and college row instead of water. it’s not a quad, per se, but it is so, so nice. on sunny days you can find practically the entire school out on the hill, flying kites, reading, playing frisbee, walking dogs.
depends on the classes you take. there’s very little homework, but come exam time, you’ll feel the pressure. i’d imagine it’s like that at every school. however, almost everyone’s weekends are free and the atmosphere is VERY non-competitive.
i guess? i don’t know how to answer this. there are misshapes hipsters, hipsters that look like they were pulled off the streets of amsterdam, hipsters that are itching for an 80s revival… but def. not everyone is a hipster, or a hippie, for that matter. it’s very hard to stereotype the student body. just come check us out.
frosh are placed in one of 7 dorms: westco, hewitt, nicholson, butterfields, fauver, clark, or 200 church. weskid pretty much has got it nailed.
