academics

You're paying big bucks to study at Queen's. You worked your ass off to get here and likely you'll have to work fairly hard to stay here.

Add to that a desire to have a dazzling social, sex, and extracurriclar life and you've got a lot to look after.

You have to make your time here count. It's not hard to have a great work / play balance. In fact, that's one of the things that makes Queen's so great. People here know how to work hard and play even harder.

Granted, working hard really is only half the battle. You have to know what you are getting yourself into. Getting a 90% average in PoliSci just ain't going to happen - but it's one of the most rewarding programs of study at Queen's. In the mood for studying and headed to the second floor of Stauffer Library? Think again.

Go into your education at Queen's armed with the advice of upper years. Your education here isn't all about courses and grades and midterms. It's about learning how to live on your own and how to create interesting new relationships.
