[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are doing science / math / engineering like I did, you will absolutely be spending lots of time in the library or your room studying. It will be a job. And most of the other students in your program will be like that, too.

This is correct, but it is wise do try to get to know at least some other students in your major for study groups and such like.  Someone majoring in science, math, or engineering will need to work at it as if it were a job in order to succeed at any university.  Start the homework as soon as its assigned, so you can get help from faculty or TAs during office hours.  Do all the homework, even optional ungraded bits.  Working many many problems is the best way (maybe the only way) to do well in these fields.  Even Feynman (who literally was a Nobel prize genius for QED) did not solo his way through MIT, which was made clear in one of his books.

Btw, I work in scientific research and probably 70%-80% of the scientists are introverted, some mildly and some extremely.  We also have some very good people who are valued, but also are probably somewhere mild on the Autism/Asperger's spectrum.[/quote]
