<p>1) Interesting. Sounds hard, but isn’t college supposed to be hard?
2) Really? I thought everyone took 2 classes outside SLE? Obviously the workload will be difficult, but I can’t imagine any more difficult than 4 classes at Swarthmore or Reed or UChicago.
3) Why is it a waste of time? Elaborate? It sounds like a residential community of intellectuals; I’ve spent six weeks, some of the best weeks of my life, in just such a community.
4) Yes, I would fully expect to have an SLE social circle. Those would probably be the people I make friends with anyway, though. I’m pretty firm in my teetotaler conviction.</p>
