It is true that the student body is generally very academically oriented. I think that a lot of students do take themselves seriously, but they also know how to relax, because being stressed out so much all the time is unhealthy, and it’s important to set some time for fun. So people here in general do take themselves seriously, especially when it comes down to getting their schoolwork done, but not 24/7. People take the time to hang out and go to a party and drink. And if that’s not for you, then do something else, but everyone here takes a break from time to time.
