Fun Stuff > CHATTER
College!
heretic:
I really like summer classes, especially if they're ones I want to take anyhow. Meeting more frequently helps you retain information and having fewer credits lets you really focus on doing well in a few things.
Also, on the subject of frats:
Pledge if you want to, but be prepared to hate life for a while and then pay dues every month to have a pre-determined group of friends. Other organizations often serve the same purpose, but without the hazing and bullshit.
That said, rush all the frats even if you don't plan on pledging, it's a great way to get a week of cheap or free booze.

i am currently taking three summer courses, which is something i've been doing since high school to make my life easier during the academic year.
the majority of my experience with summer courses has been positive.
i mean, in grade 11 i took film during the summer which was pretty snazzy and didn't even feel like a class sometimes, since the focus was on actually making movies, not studying film history. and the people i met there were awesome.
however, in grade 12 i had to take calculus, and i happened to have a teacher that i'm pretty sure has never taught summer school before, because she would assign the exact same amount of work that you'd get in a regular class, and just expected us to finish it faster. we had tests practically every other day. that was slightly ridiculous. so was the fact that she expected us to do presentations. uhhhhhhhh it's a math course can you use common sense instead of just rigidly sticking to the educational board guidelines? fuck.
but yeah, as long as you don't get one of those types of professors, college/university summer courses aren't too much harder than high school ones, and the pace is decent.
they're not a place to meet new people for me though, since all of my current courses are online-only. and the campus is pretty empty most of the time, so i'm unlikely to strike up conversations with strangers there.
also, wtf, frats get free booze during rush week?? where?

Try to eat at the school cafeteria as little as humanly possible.

You're a girl, it's different. In your case, they give free beer year round, but it's not smart to accept any unless you are there with a protective group of friends.

i am obviously at the wrong school because no one offers me free beer, drugged or not.
maybe it's cause i look too intimidating.
and i disagree with the cafeteria thing. i had some delicious cafeteria pasta earlier.
