<p>I was just accepted by the Columbian College of Arts and Science and probably going to GW this fall. I'd really like to study internatioanl relations and political science.
Since I am a Chinese high school student , some of my questions may seem a little easy.
Does being in the Columbian college disadvantage me of having majors like Internatioanl relations? </p>
<p>Do you think I can transfer to the Elliot School of International affairs after enrolling? </p>
<p>About class size, how many students on average at each class except for the intro lectures ?</p>
<p>Oh, I want to add something to my original thread. For the first one (or two ) year, when we take the general courses, are we bound to particular school? For example, Can a student from Columbian school of arts and science take classes at Elliott?</p>
<p>I’m also an international student living in Shanghai, China.</p>
<p>If you want to major in IR, then it’s definitely better to switch into Elliott. You can do that after you enroll; there is no rush to do it now.</p>
<p>I’m not sure about class size… but I’m guessing around 20 students?</p>
<p>And no, we are actually required to take courses outside of our school. But if you’re set on majoring in international relations, it’s still better to transfer to Elliott.</p>
<p>Hi Sanduo. I would suggest that you transfer to Elliott. I will be an Elliott student because I am interested in International Affairs. It seems to me you’re on the same boat. As for the specifics of when to transfer, you can ask that question to a current student who has started a thread on here to help us out. They’re always quite useful because they understand our uncertainties.</p>
<p>sunnysh1h: Yeah, Nice to meet you. I am from Shenyang.
I heard the Political Science program in GW is one of the best in the nation. I am still uncertain about whether I should do a double major or not. Thanks for your answer.
How do you like GW? How many Chinese undergraduates are there?</p>
<p>theinsomniac77:Thanks. I have seen the thread by the current student. I am interested in both political science and International affairs. GW has strong programs in both fields. I think I will decide whether to transfer after enrolling. Thank you !!</p>
