It is extremely competitive and very disheartening to work so hard and get a bad grade.

Margaret

There is a lot of pressure to do well, and in a lot of intro classes the fierce competition is amplified by disinterested teachers. However, the higher-level classes are much more enjoyable, and within your specific major the professors are much more friendly, approachable, and open to meeting students.
