I'm finishing up undergrad in CS & CPE, and beginning my graduate classes in CPE. These four years were NOT easy, but then I always took 6 classes. The school heavily recruits insanely smart people, who come in with sophmore standing and a minor in math. What drew me and most people is that its tough, and if you can't hack it you fail. Compared to highschool friends, I actually have learned something in school, but the workload has killed. I burnt out under the pressure twice, and have seen friends do the same. I got a 3.96 GPA in highschool and APs and recieved Hield/Camras (5yrs half scholarship).

I lived in the dorms for 2 years and its utter hell, so I pledged a fraturnity (Triangle) and my social life and quality of life jumped up dramatically. At IIT, you must work for a social life. Triangle is what made IIT liveable, and I grew into a better person through them.
