Sam feels that it requires a lot of effort to be an MIT student . As a Mathematics major, Sam studies about 8 hours a day, except weekends, and he always sees people studying and working on their assignments around campus. Sam used to have the top grades in his classes back in high school, but at MIT he found that almost everyone was a top student at the high schools they had come from. He feels that he probably wouldn¡¯t have to work this hard if he had gone to a different school. However, Sam feels that relaxation is also an important part of effective studying, and so in his spare time he plays jazz music with his friends in their dorm. He plays the piano in that small band, and says that he sometimes gets too involved with playing music that he misses his class.
