Student Life
Undergraduates in the Faculty are frequently colloquially called "Mathies". As the faculty is a large one with many distinct programs, there is no overall cohesive structure to undergraduate student life.
The third floor of the MC building houses some recreational space and offices for student organizations: the Mathematics Society (MathSoc), the primary student organization serving and representing undergraduate math students; mathNEWS, and a number of clubs oriented to specific programs.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“I feel the desire to be with you all the time. Oh, an occasional absence of a week or two is a good thing to give one the happiness of meeting again, but this living apart is in all ways bad. We have had our share of separate life during the four years of war. There is nothing in the small ambition of Congressional life, or in the gratified vanity which it sometimes affords, to compensate for separation from you. We must manage to live together hereafter. I can’t stand this, and will not.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
