Question for BIO majors and anyone else in STEM
I was recently admitted to Reed College on a full academic scholarship, and right now my two choices are either that school or Bard College.
I come from a school that's not challenging and I'm worried I will drown under the workload of Reed, every one says it's really really bad and the only thing keeping me from choosing this school is the idea of not being able to keep up and being constantly under stress. My strengths are in reading and writing but I definitely have a weakness in math.
I was able to visit the school and I sat in on a theatre class since there were no bio classes available for sit-ins, I really really fell in love with the campus, but I'm so scared.
What was your experience like freshman year and up until whatever year you're in now?
And if applicable, what was your experience as a POC?
