We asked Jody...
What are the academics like at your school?
You get to know your professors very well. Some of them even friend you on facebook!
You end up spending way too much time with your professors outside of class - it sometimes becomes a form of procrastination...
Most unique class - Creativity and Communication over Jan Plan - class on bookmaking
There isn't much of a competitive atmosphere, but one hears lots of intellectual (and not so intellectual) conversation in the dining halls.
The curriculum and corresponding efforts are more along the lines of "knowledge for knowledge's sake", but it would be nice (not to mention even necessary) to gear more of it towards today's job market pressures.
