<p>First a special thanks to Jetinfreak. You gave a very helpful answer when I couldn't.</p>
<p>Yes I get free time. It won't be as nearly as much as other majors so it will sound like not a lot but what else would you expect. Recently the workload has been insane and sometimes you just gotta stay in. I can't be specific because everyone works at there own pace and however good of grades they want to get. If you don't care and just want to be average you can go out during the weekdays. But if you really want to be #1, you will not only have to be really smart but you won't be going out that much either. So it is just how much you care and how much time you devote. Same with the other activities: how much time and how much you care. Lately I have been very busy so right now might not be the best time to ask me about workload. Plus I pretty much only enjoy partying and exercising as other activities that aren't club or job related.</p>
<p>As far as parties. Yeah there is a lot of alcohol. But they're parties what more do you want? But you don't have to drink at the parties if you don't want to. Im glad I never drank in high school but I never had that much fun because being sober at a drunk party wasn't fun for me in high school (college is a little better in that respect, although I wouldn't know that much) other people find being sober at a drunk party fun. As far as non-alcoholic other activities yeah there is a lot. People go to movies, plays, hang out, have room parties. But usually (there is the enginerding frat and stuff but often) any big party will have alcohol. In surplus amounts if it's a good one. The girls are hot and most are pretty nice. There are some stuck up ones but they mostly hail from Naperville and places like that. You are going into ChemE right. Well luckily they are the engineering major with the most girls. And definitely the most hot girls haha. It is nice for the balance b/c I wouldn't want to be stuck in a guy dominated class anyway.</p>
