College Students: How is your experience in FIRST?

Fellow College Students,

For the longest time I've been searching for the right balance of FIRST and college life. I've seen many who burnt out because they were too involved in FIRST, and I've seen others who are just having their fun. Some believe they can start a team and run it when they enter college as a freshmen, but many examples are telling me that college students should avoid the responsibilities of having to manage an entire robotics team.

So, in the hope to collect more data, I post this question to all you college student out there. How is your experience in FIRST? How involved are you in FIRST? How is FIRST affecting your school work? Do you honestly thing college students can handle the load of being a student, and being a team leader?

These are just some questions I want to post to get this discussion started. As we go deeper and deeper into the discussion, I will ask more questions and see where they take us.

Now, if you wish to remain nameless when replying to this thread, go ahead and send me a PM. I will post your responds for you.

A Fellow College FIRST-a-holic,
-Ken Leung
