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 clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“The life of a good man is a continual warfare with his passions.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
