MS?? Think twice before you leap

Here are some excerpts of a mail I received from a friend of mine. I really cannot stress on how talented and awesome this guy is. He has a top rate brain. And he is a gem of a guy. Any way I have withheld some portions

X- Is his University in the US

ME: - How has X been treating you and how have you been treating it. Hope the workload isn’t too taxing.

Him:- well X is bad. its been 3 weeks since the classes started and i am already dying to get some sleep.....i dont remember when i slept well last time......the workload is just too inhuman.....thats the reason i have not been able to reply you guys for so long......if you guys are planning to apply to X then i would suggest you guys to get used to sleeping 2-3 hours a day....that too in patches.....bathing once in 2-3 days...shaving is a waste of time.......get used to reading 2 books atleast per week .........basically its a living hell......but i must say that the learning curve is just amazing......the courses are very good but intensive......the profs are unquestionably the best in business.....you learn the best in world ..................but give up social life and fun........so if you apply to X be ready to get bum fucked ...........day and night, back and forth...as i write this mail i am almost dying for i have not slept since last 5 days!!! :((

So guys think twice. Don’t make a hasty decision. Think of the “Bumfucking” as he puts it. I am not trying to dissuade you. Just better to be prepared than sorry.

X is a top rated institute. You probably wont be so badly “Bumfucked” elsewhere
