[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids there, including a freshman. Like any other school of a decent size (>8k undergrads), there will be all kinds of kids. There are the nerdy engineering kids, like my upperclassman who spends lots of time in the library and hangs out with a small group of close friends, there is the consulting crowd, the premed crowd, and the theater crowd, among others, with lots of mixing of groups. Both kids have friends in multiple different crowds. My freshman is an engineering major with a bunch of friends in theater - tons of parties, apparently. I would really hesitate to apply one type of vibe label. Both kids are having a great time. My sense is that the younger one, who overall has always been more social, attends more parties than the older one.

The sports are there, but not necessarily a huge focus. It'll be interesting to see if more attend the football games when the new stadium opens in October, though the temporary lakefront one looks pretty cool.

There is a greek scene, but my kids are not involved, so I don't have any observations on that.[/quote]
