Civil Engineering? Just one step above Industrial Operations Engineering (IOE) or as we Aerospace guys called it In-n-Out Easy engineering.

Not sure what your school was but mine was U Mich - AA which had a huge international student group and those guys kicked our butts. I struggled through my Aerospace degree even though I was a near 4.0 in highschool and a high SAT score. In contrast I know an Aerospace eng guy from ERAU and his classes/workload is way easier than what mine was. At the time I went through, U Mich AA's Aerospace program ranked #3 in the nation. I paid for that though because my grades tanked and I barely finished with a rounded 3.0 average.
