Academics

They pack a whole semester of schooling into only 11 weeks. It's fast paced and rigorous but definitely worth it if you're up to the challenge.

The academic portion at Kettering is definitely very rigorous. The academic term lasts 11 weeks, while the last week is finals week. Basically what happens is that you learn in 10 weeks what most other schools will teach in 16. It is very challenging, but definitely not impossible and a very good way to develop (or start) your study habits. A problem that I had is that I skated through High School easily without doing all of my homework. I assumed that I could do the same thing at KU. I was wrong, haha. As long as you know what you're doing, you will be fine.

I am going to be fully immersed in classes relevant to my major, and since my three possible majors, Chemistry, Biology, and Biochemistry, all have many science classes in common, I may be able to double major without too much addition to my schedule.

You will be challenged, you will get frustrated, but you will learn more than the others.

Put in the work and results will follow.
