<p>My S sounds just like ohio_mom’s. He is a member of a competitive (on the national level) sports club and played IM football. He also took 4 courses and did very well this past quarter. One can be very (very) busy and get it all in, though good time management and planning will be required. (He also has made many friends and has an active social life.) </p>
<p>Getting to the Shoreland is not all that big a challenge (very frequent buses), and as ohio_mom said, no real need to return to the dorm (and if one is living at the Shoreland, I believe one will be eating at BJ).</p>
