[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC in engineering. Says it is high stress. Some bonding with classmates, but all courses are graded on a curve which means grades are a zero sum game. Many classes curve to a B median. Labs consume two afternoons each week, plus write-ups after. Problem sets are due each week for each class. Needs to average 17 credit hours each semester to graduate in 4 years. Only time off seems to be Friday afternoon through Sunday lunchtime. When comes home sleeps a lot first few days. In short, it is a grind. [/quote] Yes, where? My child is first semester eng at UMD and is having a great time. Classes are not too difficult due to strong HS background...lot of review this semester. Also, Honors college has made a big university feel a little small. Kids is also enjoying attending games, football and other sports. I fully expect school to get a lot harder sophmore year![/quote]
