<p>I've only gotten emails from my peer advisers. No book or anything from my faculty adviser yet.</p>
<p>You dont actually have to read that book, so dont worry about it.</p>
<p>Who has to read the book? What sort of discussions, projects, etc. revolve around the book once we get there? Is there any compelling reason to read the book?</p>
<p>There is 0 mandatory reason to read the book unless you are in the seminar about the book (which you would already know).</p>
<p>wait, i got the book in the mail. i have no seminar, since im in mccormick. so why did i receive the book? do they mail it to everyone hoping to unite the school?</p>
<p>My freshman year they sent everyone Antigone. They wanted us to write about it on some discussion forums online before coming to school. Not sure if this is the same sort of thing, but I never opened that book and barely anyone posted anything online... so I would say you definitely do not have to worry about anything like that, unless as arbiter said you have a specific seminar about that book.</p>
<p>Same thing dlfeish, one book, one northwestern.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies guys.
So, i do not need to worry about the book,alrite. But what about my peer adviors? Have I been left out or something?
Is there anyone else in the same seminar as me??
Also, how do we know which book does our freshman seminar require?</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>Peer advisers find out their advisees at random points over the summer (I found mine out last week) and it is on us to contact you guys. You are probably just the victim of a lazy peer adviser, don't sweat it.</p>
<p>You will probably get a book list in the first class of your seminar with the syllabus.</p>
<p>Does anyone know in which department "Statistics 210, Introductory Statistics for the Social Sciences" is offered?</p>
<p>Maybe I'm just blind, but I didn't see it on CAESAR under the Math department... :/</p>
<p>It's listed under the Statistics department.</p>
<p>Is special permission required to take a 300-level class? (I'm a sophomore transfer.)</p>
<p>No as a general rule, but special permission is required for some classes of all levels. It would be mentioned on the course listing.</p>
<p>Two Questions:
1) I am going to be a sophomore transfer and I need to fill my housing app before this Tues. I looking for a dorm that is comfortable/clean, not too noisy, and with a "homey" feel to it. This is because I plan on spending the vast majority of my time outside of the dorm hall and would like a nice place to relax. I already looked into the North Housing Guide but was looking for more opinions.</p>
<p>2) I am also undecided which foreign lang. to study (either Spanish or Latin), does anyone know anything about this two particular departments?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>^^also for the 1st Question above, could anyone comment on dorms that aren't on the North Housing Guide (ie upperclassmen dorms) Thanks</p>
<p>If you want a quiet place mostly to yourself, you should probably check out Foster-Walker Complex. All singles, mid-campus location, good dining hall.</p>
<p>You may also want to look at ISRC, 1835 Hinman, and CRC. They all have singles, suites, a mixture of classes, and a homey feel. ISRC, at least, is very quiet.</p>
<p>As a sohomore transfer, what is the best way to make friends and get involved? I've never lived away from home and so technically I'm in the same boat as an incoming freshman...I'm so nervous! And I've heard that NU is especially cliquey...</p>
<p>If you're in the same boat as the freshmen, then you are, effectively, a freshman. Just do what they do.</p>
<p>oo I really like this thread.</p>
<p>I'm visiting NU in October as a senior but I'm trying to convince myself not to fall in love with it, even though it is exceptionally strong in comm/journalism and looks wonderful from the little I've seen. But costs are like $50k a year, and they don't give merit aid!!</p>
<p>Are there huge scholarships up for grabs, or is financial aid kind of a crapshoot? because my chances look like nil right now.</p>
