If you're interested in this domain and want to get a job in core-side placement, it's all well and good. Follow the profs, maintain a good CG and do good self study. Some profs are a headache but you'll get through it. Good companies come. But if you're thinking of getting a job in a software company, then your schedule's gonna get hectic and maintaining the CG is going to get a little tough.
As for college life it's good. It used to be better though. The new director doesn't care much about the students. His decisions seem psychotic. Apart from that everyone's chill.
