Advice for what to take Freshman year?

<p>Chem 1a - a decent amount of work, but compared to O-Chem, this is grade school stuff.
Math 1a - Easy A if you've taken Calc in high school. Seriously, it's EASY. 1b will not be fun, though, but if you switch to a major that accepts 16a/16b, you can take 1a and 16b and it'll work.
Astro c10 is a very fun class and also an easy A just because the material is so interesting and the professor (Filippenko) is the best you'll have.
Nutri Sci - easy A</p>

<p>I don't recommend taking a lot of seminars. Those were just a pain in the ass for me. No work or anything, but they're generally boring.</p>

<p>BTW, there aren't that many easy A classes at Berkeley so think about spreading them out.</p>
