<p>i hear it's hard to get into some classes.
are academics really intense?</p>
<p>I hope the academics <em>are</em> intense, or what's the point of going there? Intense but with time to chill in between, that is.</p>
<p>not that hard to get into classes. if you want it bad enough, chances are you'll get in.
academics- that depends. some classes are, some aren't. but let me tell you, the intense ones will hit you like a train so you better be ready.
and of course we have time to chill. well not really, but we chill anyway and by some miracle still end up doing well :)</p>
<p>i mean i've already decided on wes but still i'm curious:
to current wes student, would u RAVE about your classes and professors?! or are they good but not great? or great but not amazing?</p>
<p>It really depends on the class. If you're taking a reading or writing intensive class, prepare to work an incredible amount, especially if you're not a very fast writer. Math and science classes don't have much homework (typical is a single problem set per week), but can be difficult come test time.</p>
<p>It's generally not hard to get into a class if you're persistent, though it depends on the professor. For the most part, it's not a problem.</p>
<p>As for quality of professors and classes, I currently have three amazing professors and one mediocre one, though I'm not sure how representative that is. Without a doubt, there are many great, dedicated teachers here.</p>
<p>I have had a full range of professor quality, and regardless most classes are intense.</p>
<p>suffice it to say, though, I have had some truly AMAZING professors so far, many not even in my major.</p>
