Classes to Visit- Help Please

<p>Hi everybody,
I have been recently accepted to the college and have signed up for an overnight on Janurary 23rd and I would like to sit in on some classes before my overnight.</p>

<p>Does anyone have recommendations of classes to sit in on?
I am really interested in chemistry, economics, sexuality studies but honestly I am willing to sit in on anything just to get the feel of the classroom setting.
(If possible I would like the class to start after 1 but it easily possilbe for me to be there before then to go to a class if it interests me)</p>

<p>if you have any suggestions would you mind providing its name, place, and time
THANKS</p>

<p>Take this for what you will, because not only have I never sat in a Chicago class, I am still hoping to be accepted, however, if I were to sit in on a class, I would want to sit in on one a core class, and probably a hum class.
I say a core class because you're more likely to take a core class your freshman year, and I say hum because that's what I'm interested in and I think you could go to an individual lecture and not be completely lost. that's just my gut reaction, and I'm sure somebody has something far wiser to say. ;)</p>

<p>If you're interested in economics, try sitting in on a Power, Identity, and Resistance core course. I would recommend Richard Westerman -- he was a funny, youngish guy, British I believe, who had a pretty dynamic way of engaging the students. And when I visited, they were studying Smith's Wealth of Nations (I think they study Marx's Capital, too?). </p>

<p>I've visited, like, nine or so classes at Chicago, so if you want any more recommendations... just ask. ha</p>

<p>I agree that you should sit in on a core humanities (HUMA) or core social sciences (SOSC) class. These classes are targeted towards underclassmen and they are a true cross-section of University students. They are discussion classes and they're required for all students, so you should make sure you like them before you sign up to attend!</p>
