Paradise for some, hell for others

Rating: 1/5 (33 ratings)
Introduction
Only come here if you want to work hard, if you have a natural sense of wonder. If you're fascinated by the mysteries of nature and the human condition. Don't come here if you're primarily interested in sports or vocational training.

This is no school like any other. It truly is the only "University" in the real sense of the word, worldwide.

Campus Life and Social Life
Not much of a social life, to be honest. Not your typical college experience.

On the other hand, it depends what you make of it. Could be worse

Student Body
Nerdy, Geeky. Only school to have students in each episode of the Beauty and the Geek. Deservedly so. The weirdest but most brillant and hard working people you will ever meet. Second to none.

You'll know if you fit in...

In Closing...
It's the place to be for me. But it's probably not for everyone.
