<p>Yes. Don’t spazz out. You’ll be fine. There were tons of EEs and comp sci folks in the band at Rice making some fairly hefty time commitments on staff, and they were often the most dedicated folks. Just structure your time well, at you’ll have time to get a job and participate in an extracurricular or two. Might be best not to get a job your first semester, though, if you can avoid it. That way, there’s no risk of overextending yourself and not being able to meet your commitments.</p>
