<p>Hey, I'm a to-be student in the class of 2015 at SPS, and have a few questions - hopefully someone here can answer them.
1) Laptops in class -- I know it's allowed, but does anyone do so? It'd be kinda awkward to be the only one....
2) how bad is the work? I've heard mixed reviews: some say it's horrible, others claim it's not that bad. As background, I'm currently in one of the top Upper East Side schools, so I'm no stranger to lots of work.
3) Getting up in the mornings. Basically, at home I've kinda always had trouble waking up to alarms with less than 8 hours sleep, which I'm sure will be common at BS. I'm a very deep sleeper.... Any advice?
4) I've heard that taking more than one language is kinda suicidal in terms of time management... is this so?
5) Things to do as a new student? How to get the most out of it right away? Becoming popular among your class/dorm mates right away?
6) What to bring?
7) Bikes/means of transport?
8) Any other random advice? All is appreciated.</p>
<p>Welcome to CC and congratulations on getting into SPS!</p>

That’s probably also the best place to post your questions, as well - lots of SPS students and alumni keep an eye on questions posted there.</p>
