That is exactly why....

I  am currently going to school... CS and Math... and need a
distro that I know won't flake out on me...


That makes sense. I'm not going to say you're wrong to be
cautious, but I wouldn't say that
Arch "flakes out," rather that, in keeping with its minimalist
philosophy, it places more
responsibility on the user. As far as I can remember, every time
I've had a serious problem
after an upgrade, it was because I had failed to read the
relevant news items or to follow
some recommended procedure.
