I'll second that. Most large schools treat undergrads like cattle,
especially for the first two years. I cite as experience my student
tenure at the University of Michigan (from which I graduated) and the
University of Southern California (from which I didn't) and, between
those two, Palomar Jr. College -- which repaired the damage done by
USC and taught me to call an asshole 'Dr. Asshole' if needed. I'd
have been much better off at a Grinell if I'd only known it existed.
