<p>Congratulations grads of 2014, it's been a long road getting here!</p>
<p>What are you guys looking forward to at Columbia and what majors are you pursuing?</p>
<p>For me, I looking forward to living in New York city, somewhere I have never been to but it's where dreams happen!</p>
<p>I am also not sure what to major in, but looking forward to the physics courses with some professors that I met here in Vancouver.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to life in the fast lane, living vicariously, by nobody’s rules, not even my own!</p>
<p>Now you’re in New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of.</p>
<p>But seriously, I’m looking forward to staying in New York and hanging out with people from all over the country and the world. Also excited about freshman classes, especially LitHum and Frontiers/UW.</p>
<p>I am looking for a change</p>
<p>anxiousgirl,</p>
<p>I couldn’t have said it better myself.</p>

<p>I looked forward to UW before classes started. I figured it was a good class to start off one’s college life. But trust me, it’s not worth the time and resources expended, and nearly everybody HATES it. (people do love it a bit when they finish it though)</p>
<p>FoS however I’m looking forward to, because of its mildly interesting topic and much reduced workload (despite it having one more point than UW, which just doesn’t make sense).</p>
<p>I’m in seas, and UW was an awesome course, my writing did actually improve considerably, and my prof has had a long term impact on my diction / writing style. It wasn’t an easy course, but the time spent in that course has really made a lasting difference. FoS will make no such difference, unless you haven’t and will not ever read wikipedia. It is a reduced work load which is nice, and it teaches you to bullsht like no other.</p>
<p>My affinity for UW is mostly the result of an irrational fear that I’m not capable of Columbia-level writing.</p>
<p>UW and Principles of Econ were my favorite classes freshman year. In UW, you’re rewarded for using your brain and the practice you get putting your thoughts onto paper will be extremely useful in your later classes. It was a lot of work but the teachers are usually M.F.A. students and are sympathetic to the workload you have to manage.</p>
<p>FoS was complete straight up ********. I think the most valuable skill you can learn from that class is doing back of the envelope calculations; something that is embedded in a semester’s full of boring lectures, wasted class time and inane weekly assignments.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to being with people like me. (Cerebral, opinionated, vivacious). Also the academic environment.(heavy student lead discussion)</p>
<p>I think I’ll go into psychology or philosophy. Though that will probably change. I said Near Eastern studies on the application. I’m so clueless…Good thing I’ve got two years to decide.</p>
<p>hey anxiousgirl, what change eh?</p>
