Call me cynical, but for example UMass Amherst has a terrible rep for enrolling so many freshmen that they have to be housed in motels and on the floors of dorm lounges!!! And the US military academies have an expected dropout/kickout rate of up to 50% of the freshman class. So study and don't be a statistic. BTW your freshman year is the easiest year to get a high GPA because the big classes are straightforward and anyone who puts in some effort can make out like a bandit... wait until Junior year when you're in your major... woo hoo, forget having ANY time to party and still get good grades!!!
Haha, yeah mine accepts pretty much anybody. The freshman class usually seems to make up about 40% of the entire schools population. Most of the professors are understanding at the school I go to and usually will not fail someone in biology if they are an english major and just trying to get their required bio 101 out the way. That is assuming you show up to class and turn in what is expected of you when it is due.

They fucked me with math though. They show professors names for every other class but the math classes. My first semester I had the best math professor who taught me I actually earned and A in that class and have never made an A in math in my life. Now when you register though the have a TBA for all the Math professors. I have dropped the class 2 times now because I got stuck with some dick who can't teach. I'm sorry, but as a college student I should have the right to choose which professor I want to take.
