<p>My S will be a DC freshman in the fall. He's currently working on assembling his class schedule. </p>
<p>He's finally figured out the whole WebTree on-line course selection process, but is struggling with some of the course selections themselves. </p>
<p>For instance, should he sign up for the 2-year Humanities series? Do many kids take that series? Since you're required to complete the entire 2 year program to get credit for any of it, he's concerned about make just a long term commitment without knowing much more than what the courses cover. There's a 1-year series - would that be more advisable? </p>
<p>What's the best way to satisfy the freshman writing requirement? Is it a good idea to combine that with something that satisfies some other distribution requirement or focus on something that's focused on writing? Questions like that.</p>
<p>Freshman orientation is when many of these questions are answered. Many schools have freshman orientations that are earlier in the summer - many have already happened. DC's isn't until right before school starts, but the registration process has to be completed by the end of June.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there's a DC resource to help (particularly incoming freshman) with these sorts of decisions (e.g. some sort of academic counseling akin to what is often available in high schools?)?</p>
