Are we required to take a phys ed class during our 4 years?

<p>Read the title.</p>

<p>Nope.</p>

<p>BUT they are kind of fun. There are a bunch to choose from and most of them are 1/2 credit classes.</p>

<p>And they're pass/fail, so it's not as if you have to study for them or take them EXTREMELY seriously.</p>

<p>sweet. I think I'll try and do weight lifting.</p>

<p>heh, I was in that class for a day. I ended up dropping it not because I didn't like it, but because I didn't make it to class the first day. I completely slept through my first class of the day, and then woke up at 10, forgetting that the class started at 10:05 on west instead of 10:20. Oh well. I have heard that it's a pretty decent class, though.</p>

<p>The flip side of the OP question is - you can certainly take one every semester. They're great ways to make time for yourself to go lift, or dance, or fish, or bowl, or whatever. I still need to get a picture when the fly fishing class is practicing casting in front of the Chapel. Figure it would be a good postcard...</p>

<p>do they allow sitting in on the classes for non-credit? like if you want to take a class but don't have room in your schedule for it?</p>

<p>It depends on the class and the professor.</p>

<p>This isn't really part of the physed department, per say, but I had a girl in my ballet class who did that last semester. She had a pretty packed schedule so she got permission from the instructor and just came when she could. Also, sometimes I'd just go to other ballet classes when I wanted to. It's definitely a possibility...you just have to get it cleared.</p>

<p>Do the gyms have like classes/programs available for the students (aerobics, yoga, kickboxing, step, etc) that are for leisure/personal use, not courses?</p>

<p>Yep, there is a schedule in the gyms with group fitness classes. Most of the good ones are at night and stuff, but they offer some during the day. </p>

<p>They def. have yoga, kick, step, high impact, low impact, and I knew a girl who taught a pilates class, so there's tons of stuff to choose from.</p>

<p>Okay. That's great, great, great! Now I can kind of force myself to exercise. A class would make me much more motivated than just waking up early before classes and going jogging.</p>

<p>Yeah, I mean, there are tons of ways to workout. If I had a 2 hour break between classes I'd go running then. Or you can always find a friend/drag your roommate to Wilson with you to workout. There are so many things to do.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>
