<p>why would a day at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton be different than anywhere else?</p>

<p>Everyone:
1. goes to class
2. goes to clubs (campus organizations)
3. eats
4. does homework
5. has a job (maybe)
6. sleeps</p>

<p>leejwwc, are your roommates already gone when your alarm goes of every half hour? Would seem to be a tad annoying if they wanted to sleep till 10 and an alarm goes off over and over, lol =P</p>
