[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Harvey Mudd and everyone there studied 50 hours a week [i]or more[/i] just to keep up. Yeah, it was hard. Nobody dated, nobody played an instrument or did a sport. Down time was playing pool or video games in the student union, or going to a movie on the weekend.

"I am seriously considering of pulling him out GT so that he can attend somewhere else." -- Leave him alone. He will decide for himself. Plenty of people drop out of tough STEM programs because they decide it isn't right for them. There was significant attrition at Mudd when I was there.

"How do people major in CS at Georgia Tech or other places have time for other activities besides studying all the time?" -- THEY DON'T. THEY STUDY ALL THE TIME.

No wonder there is so much mental illness and suicide among young people. Their mentors think this lifestyle is fine.

And what a memorable college experience to look back on![/quote]
