<p>do engineering majors ever mix with kids from other majors? i know the rest of the school has tons of parties. do engineers ever go to these? is it tough to keep a good GPA in engineering and go out a lot at the same time?</p>
<p>an even more daring question: do engineers ever throw their own parties with alcohol (not stolen from chem lab)?</p>
<p>lol would you even have time to party</p>
<p>thats what im tryin to figure out haha</p>
<p>haha it all depends. I’d say MOST don’t, but theres definitely engineers that party. The courseload is a lot more compared to other majors so that leaves less free time, but there’s those that find time to party.</p>
<p>Engineers and party are not two words that go together here. I know a few who party, but their lives are a living hell as they get very little sleep.</p>
<p>I definitely have a few friends at U of I who are engineers and maintain 3.8+ GPAs and party quite often. I’m not really sure how they find the time, but if you have good time management skills then you can study hard and party hard.</p>
<p>yah, i just visited an engineering thing there and i met these girls who have above a 3.3 and the party minimum at least a few times a week. So you can make time, it will just be hard, and i dont even have good time management skills so i guess next year if i want to have fun it will force me to lol</p>

there are Girls in Engineering?</p>
<p>dragoon I find it interesting that you say UIUC would be super easy in another thread - <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-illinois-urbana-champaign/1323923-difficulty-engineering.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-illinois-urbana-champaign/1323923-difficulty-engineering.html</a> - but here you seem to think that the workload would be too high for the OP. What is your actual stance?</p>
<p>@dragoon998 can you at least try not to ■■■■■? Or try to make friends? (considering you effort thus far, the latter may be impossible)</p>
<p>Just to throw this out there, I have a 4.0 in ECE right now, I’m doing research with a professor, actively involved in RSO’s, etc, and I party on weekends. You really need to take a break from studying every now and then otherwise you won’t be able to get through your four years, be that break gaming, partying, etc.</p>
