I feel like the AP and dual enrollment classes prepared my kids a lot better than me for how much and how you have study in college. I never used to hear anyone talk about doing research at school, so that’s a change. Now it’s expected to be in a club or two - we did a lot of intramural sports, but I don’t recall people feeling any pressure to join a club. I vaguely recall seeing signs about some of the engineering organizations like maybe ACM, but didn’t know anyone in them. Between intramurals, pool, ping pong, and reruns of MASH, who had time for that other stuff?
