<p>For a pre-med student (me), is it bad to take Chem 10 Freshman fall, Chem 33 in the Spring, then Orgo in Sophomore Spring-Junior Fall?</p>
<p>@Zulatooka:</p>
<p>Should be fine - that’s what I’m doing. There’s nothing inherently wrong about the schedule. However, unless you’ve really had no chem experience, do your best to get into Chem 33. I took Chem 10 last year, and it was a complete waste of my time. The professor is difficult to understand and you don’t really get that much out of the semester. You’d have a better time being a little behind and self-studying to catch up in Chem 33.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about the Architecture program at Brown? Is it accredited, or is it just a history course? I have been to multiple sites that all state different things</p>
<p>@Zula: </p>
<p>Chem33 is not very hard, don’t worry about it. If you have had any chem before you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Intersession is awesome. I was there for 2 weeks and you essentially spend all your time practicing or partying. Lucky for me, I was just hanging out with my athlete friends so I didn’t actually have to do any practicing. Good times.</p>
<p>Hey! I’m taking a road trip to Brown this coming weekend :D, and I was just wondering about a couple of things:</p>
<p>-Is it okay to just walk around on campus and look inside buildings and things to get a better “feel” of the campus and facilities (besides or instead of going on the campus tour, since I’ve already done that once and I feel it’ll be the same or similar)?</p>
<p>-Brown’s website says the Physical Sciences Tour starts at 12:15pm, but I don’t have time to stay really past 11:30 or 12:00, so do you think I would be allowed to look inside the computer labs and sciences buildings to see what they’re like before the tour? I guess this is kind of the same as the first question, just with computers lol.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>@AzureStar:</p>
<p>The campus tour will be about the same, except without students on campus. You could take a look around the buildings, but that really won’t help you out that much. I can’t say about the comp labs or the science buildings, since it’s summer. You’d be best taking your road trip sometime this fall when there are actually students on campus. I don’t want you to waste your time.</p>
<p>Certainly during the school year you could walk into any room that doesn’t have a class in session. The computer labs are typically open during the summer.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks bruno14 and i<em>wanna</em>be_brown! I just want to be on the campus and see everything again, so it won’t really bother me too much if there aren’t really any students there.</p>
<p>Hi there!</p>
<p>I’m an incoming freshman asking for advice on some history courses. As much as I love learning history, my grades on any writing assignments (essays, research papers) have been below my expectations 
I saw that Professors Self and Remensnyder are highly highly recommended, but I worry that they’re hard graders. Are there any other history classes that you recommend, in which the material (or at least the professor) is interesting without the grades being too challenging? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>@Deliria – College level history always encompasses high level, academic writing. If you don’t feel comfortable with your skills as of now, take some sort of writing seminar your first semester in order to grow more skilled as a writer. You shouldn’t lack your ability either, if anything, you’ll rise to the occasion and progressively become a better writer while taking that history class. If I were you, I’d still take those two initial ones that I wanted to take and drop it only if it becomes really hard to cope with.</p>
<p>@Deliria - Or you could take it S/NC so you could worry about the learning, not the grade.</p>
<p>^Hear-hear to that suggestion.</p>
<p>jst got our housing assignments ^.^ can any of u tell me what new pembroke 4 is like? pros/cons etc…</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>Everett shows that it has no lounges or laundry rooms. Since it’s in Keeney, does that mean I just walk down the hall to another house and do it there?</p>
<p>@buzz93: Bright, modern, spacious rooms. Riot-proof hallways can be a barrier to socialization (most of the people I knew in NP4 spent most of their time with people in the rooms immediately next to theirs). The walls are super-thin. Semi-private bathrooms (1 bathroom for 2 rooms), but some of the bathrooms have faulty locks…so make sure you and your floormates figure out some kind of a system to get past that, lol.</p>
<p>@Zulatooka: Pretty much.</p>
<p>My son just found out that he will be in Emery dorm. Can someone please give some information on it.
Thanks!</p>
<p>ah, cool. but what does riot-proof hallways even mean? (sry if thats a dumb question…)</p>
<p>also, do ppl usually go and socialise with ppl outside of their residence halls? or do u usually just stay within your dorm?</p>
<p>Emery is connected to Wooley, right above the VW dining hall (great M-F, but he’ll have to walk to the Ratty on weekends). Alright rooms, though not necessarily the best views, many electrical outlets (I had 2 last year, so that’s something worth appreciating). Semi-private bathrooms (fit 1 person at a time, shared by a few people). Upperclassmen singles are interspersed between the freshmen doubles.</p>
<p>just found out I’ll be in Hope. any comments? I appreciate it!</p>
<p>@deliria-- I had never been particularly strong at history either, but I took a FYS with Remensnyder and absolutely loved it. She’s really good at facilitating discussions and making everyone involved. If you are still unsure about taking a history class, my suggestion would be to take a smaller class that is discussion based-- that way you can make a personal connection with the professor and learn the material in a different way than you do in high school. I would highly recommend Remensnyder though!</p>
