CU Boulder vs. Ohio State Uni. vs. WPI vs. Lehigh

<p>“FALSE. Very few classes are led by TA’s. Mostly TAs cover the labs and or discussion sections which is where you can ask questions about homework/tests and the material etc. They may teach very intro level composition, basic foreign languages, and low level math classes like algebra. Classes for basic subjects will be larger-that’s the main difference. But if you want out of engineering at WPI you are screwed. At OSU or CU you just go to the office and change majors.” </p>

<p>I was about to say the same thing… (At least that was my experience back in the days at TOSU… lol)</p>

<p>Thank You sparkeye7 and barrons for correcting my misconception.</p>

<p>Hey guys. I’ve read on some of the other forums that at big universities, since there are a lot of students, it’s often very tough to get the classes you want as all classes fill up really quickly. I was hoping you guys could shed some light on this. Thanks.</p>

<p>^^ There are well over 12,000 courses to choose from at TOSU. My experience told me that most of the large Introductory Courses offer two or more sessions by the same or different Professor. Nonetheless, in case you still encountering problem register that particular class you really wanted, most often than not, you can always show up on the first day of the class and wait after the end of the class to have your name added to the class roster by the Professor. In fact, I recall most Professors would usually make the announcement at the beginning of the first few week of the class that those who wish to enroll but were not successful via online registration due to whatsoever reason are welcomed to stay after the class to have their name added. Hope this helps! :)</p>

<p>I would have a selection of potential classes to take. Also often the less popular times like really early or late are more likely to be open. 1st semester is just to get your feet wet and get some credits that you can use. That could be pretty much anything at this point.</p>

<p>My son who is in the School of Engineering at CU, has just completed his freshman year. He has had no troubles getting the classes he needs. His major department has an excellent undergraduate advisor who helps them understand what classes they need…As you must be aware, in engineering the curriculum is pretty rigid with very little flexibilty except for electives in humanities. All of his classes were taught by PhD’s, the TA’s were graduate students in most cases, like in recitation classes.</p>

<p>But does Boulder, CO really need 7 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries for a city of 90,000?</p>

<p>^^^Well, it is a “growing” area. :-)</p>

<p>They are popping up like weeds in Seattle.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>Hey, guys. I’ve finally decided to attend Ohio State. Thanks for helping me make this strenuous decision.</p>

<p>If you are concerned about class size, you can go to each school and search for its “schedule of classes”. These often tell you the enrollment in and capacity of each class. Freshman calculus and freshman chemistry are often large classes, so you may want to check those.</p>
