<p>I’ve been accepted to the Desautels Faculty of Management, and I want to major in marketing. I’ve been trying to figure out what courses I want to take, but it’s a bit complicated : ( These are the courses I have so far:</p>
<p>Math 122: Calculus for management
Math 123: Linear algebra and probability
FRSL 101D1, 101D2: French as a 2nd language
PSYC 100: Intro to psychology
PSYCH 215: Social psychology
MGCR 222: Intro to organizational behavior
MGCR 271: Business Statistics
COMS 210: Intro to communication studies
COMS 300: media and modernity in the 20th century</p>
<p>This is a total of 30 credits for the year. Is that too few or too many? Also, what’s the difference between non-management electives and free electives? Please give me some suggestions! Thanks : D</p>
<p>depending on the semester arrangement, thats a lot of work. calc = homework, psych = lots of memorization, linear algebra = hw, french = hw + memorization + projects + attendance</p>
<p>im not from management so i dont know, but do any of these have pre-reqs. i’m assuming the COMS courses are a bit lighter, but 300-levels often have pre-reqs</p>
<p>‘metro’ is underneath rew rez, ‘provigo’ is bigger and cheaper at sherbrooke and prince arthur, ‘iga’ is in the alexis nihon mall over by the old montreal forum and solin hall</p>
<p>there are convenience stores called depannneurs scattered all throughout town where you can buy beer, wine, snacks, etc.</p>
<p>and i did direct withdrawal for tuition… but i believe you have to approve it first online each time which isn’t an issue</p>
<p>It looks like I get to register for courses last (U0 - Arts) so I was wondering how quickly classes fill up. Some of the 100-200 courses are big (500) but some cap off at 150. Am I likely to get anything I want?</p>

30 credits per year is the normal course load if you expect to graduate on time. A free elective can be any course you want: management or non-management. </p>
<p>Are you U0 or U1? You list looks like a standard load for U0 Management. </p>

Getting into large first year classes is not usually a problem. Getting into small U2 and U3 classes is more of an issue.</p>
<p>@perpetualstudent: just curious as to why you are living near Mac and commuting to downtown? Are the rents very reasonable near Mac or do you just love the area?</p>
<p>Thanks to both you and Tom for providing so much useful information!</p>
<p>It’s a typical suburb (think dormitory town), and not the cheapest place on the island. </p>
<p>I live here because my family’s residence is here, and I haven’t been able to justify moving out for financial and personal reasons. My workplace is also fairly close, so that’s a factor.</p>
<p>If you’re coming from somewhere else downtown makes a lot more sense, in most cases.</p>
<p>I would add that even if some 150 size class is filled before the semester starts, many will drop during the add-drop period (first 2 weeks of class) so if you can’t register before classes start, you just need to try again after the first couple of classes and should be able to register before it’s too late.</p>
<p>@perpetualstudent - Right after I posted, it dawned on me that you might live with your family. My son is very interested in Mac, although he may still look into the Fac of Science. He lived in Montreal last summer studying French at Language Studies Canada and really fell in love with Montreal. </p>
<p>How are the study abroad options in general? (Edit: Just found post #201 addressing this.)</p>
<p>Would still be interested in hearing if any of you have participated in study abroad.</p>
<p>Depends on where you live… can live with many people in large places far away for $450mo or small places nearby with one or two people for $1000/mo. And nearly everything in between. Theres lots of variability.</p>
