<p>what is chass connect??? is it worth it???</p>
<p>I see…Still deciding on a major.</p>
<p>Should I bring my bike? And if I did, where would I leave it?</p>
<p>i like having my bike, but you don’t need it. everything is walkable, and sometimes walking is actually more practical than biking cause you have to walk your bike anyways when masses of people are walking (generally only around the belltower/HUB and generally only on MW at the end of every hour, cause TR classes end at different times and people leave on friday) and ucr doesn’t have nearly enough bike racks on campus. it will be useful for riding to the UV when you have classes there though.</p>
<p>if you’re dorming in AI or lothian there are bike “cages”, basically a big wrought iron fence room with a roof over it and a locking door with bike racks inside, and there’s plenty of bike racks outside the dorms. pentland has small bike racks outside each building.</p>
<p>Wow, this is a long thread. I’m 22 and just transferred into Riverside. Is it true that in Pentland hills there aren’t that many transfers, even though they have a specific transfer hall.</p>
<p>hi, ive been all over the housing website ucr offers but cant find if the bed size is either twin or twin xl for east lothian. can a kind person tell me (:</p>
<p>twin xl (too short message…)</p>
<p>it’s twin xl for all dorms. pentland, ai, and lothian.</p>
<p>thanks guys, helped me out a lot. I have another question. Do you think its worth it to take the MAE test if i am in chass as a political science/ law and society major? My major distinctively says that my major does not require it. This is what it says (you can skip it if u want).</p>
<p>The following majors/programs in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) require at least one course in Mathematics and students in these majors must take the Mathematics Advisory Exam (MAE): Pre-Business/Business Administration, Psychology, Neuroscience, Liberal Studies, Economics, Economics/Administrative Studies, Economics/Law and Society, Business Economics, Political Science/Administrative Studies, Sociology/Administrative Studies, History/Administrative Studies, Art History/Administrative Studies, and some concentrations in Interdisciplinary Studies.</p>
<p>Students in CHASS majors other than those listed above may opt to fulfill their breath (general education) requirement by enrolling in either a computer science or statistics course that does not require taking the Mathematics Advisory Exam (MAE). Undeclared CHASS students should take the MAE based on the mathematics requirements in the majors they are interested in pursuing.</p>
<p>Anyways, do you think its worth it because its going to cost me like 50 dollars for fees and other costs and if i dont need it, i really dont want to take it. </p>
<p>Also even if i am to change majors, can’t i take the mae during the year while i am attending ucr?</p>
<p>does anyone know if we’re going to be able to talk face to face to our academic advisor/counselor on orientation day?? because i really need help on how to have a concentration in my major: sociology</p>

For me (BCOE), on day 2, you get stuck in a room with about 30 people going through the class catalogs and choosing classes. Theres an adviser/counselor in there as well to answer questions. The advisers were pretty free most of the time. Not exactly a one on one private meeting, but thats what i got. Whether this happens to you may vary by college.</p>
<p>@ himself: thanks! hey do you know if UCR has a BS for sociology??</p>
<p>Yes. Im taking a intro to sociology class right now and there’s a couple in my class.</p>
<p>@ himself: i’m really kinda stressing out if i should get a BS or a BA for sociology…i want to become a social worker (children & family) & i don’t know which degree would benefit me more?? what do you think? thanks in advance. (:</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t think ill make any difference, but I would save that question for your adviser. I’m not a sociology major nor do I have much knowledge in the area so Its best to seek someone else advice.</p>
<p>@ himself: perfect advice! thank you!! :D</p>
<p>Socialgirasol, you will have access to your academic advisor on the day of orientation. All the students from your department will be placed in a room to listen to the advisor(s) introduce the major and concentrations and such. Then you will be placed in a computer lab to register for classes, and if you need further assistance you can talk to them in private in their office. </p>
<p>To address your second question, I do not think it ultimately matters whether you choose a BA or a BS in sociology. Unfortunately, neither I nor any one on CC is qualified to accurately answer that question though, I would suggest that you pose that question to your advisor on the day of orientation. And keep in mind that a BA is more focused on qualitative stuff/theory, whereas a BS requires you to take more quantitative classes.</p>
<p>@ darkprince: what do you mean in the last 4 sentences? what is the difference?</p>
<p>The latter part of my answer was to address your question about whether you should pursue a BA or a BS in sociology. For a BS you have to take more quantitative courses (ie. mathematics and such). And for a BA you do not have to take as much because it is more focused on the qualitative aspect of the field (ie. theory and the sort).</p>
<p>@darkprince: ohhhh ok!! i understand better now! thank you tons! (:</p>
