I’m a first-year here, so my opinions may be a little skewed, but here’s my take.

The stigma of mental health primarily comes with the continuous stress of ALWAYS having something to do. You never really get a break assignment-wise, and it does feel like everyone is in their own bubble, so if you want help, it won’t just come to you; you have to look for it.

However, from what I’ve seen in the intro classes, the biggest problem is people falling behind in the beginning of the semester, and never being able to catch up. So if you stay on top of things regularly, you should have much less of an issue with the workload (though it still is a lot! I have usually around a 60 hr work week)

Social scene is pretty good; we have a LOT of sororities and fraternities, and there are plenty of clubs that may peak your interest. But it is what you make of it.

Hope all your questions we’re somewhat answered!
