I loved seeing all the bike paths, but then on the other hand there weren’t any mountain biking or dirt bike trails that I could see. Beer was cheaper than water, so that was cool too.

You do you! It does look nicer when it’s made though, and it makes the room feel cleaner. (IMO)

Really not that bad when it comes to work life balance, really depends where you work at. However, I’d say if you decide to go this route, really make an effort to get internships as often as you can. The market is rough and if you don’t have anything to show for your time in college you’ll have a bad time when you graduate. I suppose this provably goes for most degrees, but also try to network so that you have options post graduation.
