Most of my classes are combined graduate and undergraduate, but as a graduate student I have an additional work load, as well as some additional meetings with the other grad students. This means that most of my experience so far has been with very large class sizes. Most of my professors seem nice, though.
The student populace is of a sort that I have rarely had occasion to come in contact with. People here wear a lot of makeup, even at eight in the morning. Today as I walked through the common square there were students at work on a large chalk mural on the ground. Free Mumia? Free Palestine? U.S. out of Iraq? No, in festive 6-foot letters they had written "MTV!!", "XBOX", and "FUN!", accompanied by various hearts and smiley faces. Olympia it ain't. I'm trying not to let the culture shock get to me, but I have my moments.
