Academics

There are definitely certain majors that appear to be harder than others, but overall I would argue college is challenging in general. As cliche as it sounds, it really is what you make of it. If you study hard and attend class, you may surprise yourself with how well you do. Attendance is not always mandatory, but it usually is. Most professors are pretty strict about the attendance policy, and honestly I find it beneficial when they are. They are also very fair about when an absence does occur. They are usually more fair if you are a good, participating, hard-working student. The best way to think about it is that you are paying for each class, so if you do not go, that is money you waste. One of the greatest parts about IC is the size. It is not so small where you see the same people everyday, but it is also not so big where there is a slim chance your professors will know your name. This makes it easier to get extra help and keep up with your classes.
