The workload at ETH can often times be challenging. There is a lot of pressure to perform, not helped by many students feeling the need to brag about how good they are. But if you don’t only focus on the studying part and keep a healthy work-life balance, it can be quite rewarding. ETH encourages the existence of student associations and with your payment to the ETH, you get a free membership to ASVZ, which gives you access to multiple gyms and other sports. Overall it has its ups and downs, but the ups win.
