social life / workload / difficulty

<p>So, nerdiness is not really a huge problem for me. I mean, I'm not super-nerd like the people at u of chicago are made out to be, but I get along well with nerds. From what I hear about the school, I really like it.</p>

<p>My concerns are:
the social life... will I have time to do fun stuff and will I enjoy it?
the workload... will it be too much? I can handle a pretty lot of work, but there have been a few times in my high school career when I just get sick of it and want to stop.
the difficulty... in addition to being a lot of work, are the classes just hard? will i not understand anything?</p>
