<p>Anyone taking online classes at NEU?
Are the professors, Blackboard set up, and online lectures as good as NEU says they are?
Are 6 week terms enough time to learn each subject well and get good grades?
Thank you for your help!</p>
<p>A couple weeks ago I went to irientation and created my schedule, I think i may have to change it because of times. Do you think that it is possible to get from Behrakis to the YMCA in 10 minutes?</p>
<p>It’s easily done.</p>
<p>I got from West H to Hurtig in less than 8 minutes three days a week my first semester.</p>
<p>Does the Northeastern app require you to apply to one certain college? And can you double major in say, International Business from the College of Business Admin. and Journalism in CAS? What’s the difference between double and “combined” major? Do many students double major or have multiple minors? Is that setting yourself up to not graduate on time?</p>
<p>Also, if I wanted to major in Business, but didn’t take Calculus in high school, is that going to hurt my chances of acceptance to the College of Business?</p>
<p>For the most part, I don’t think moving between colleges is a major deal with a few exceptions (nursing for one). And yes, having two majors between colleges is possible. As for not having calculus, I wouldn’t worry about it. Its a pretty standard freshman course, regardless of major.</p>
<p>Sorry, but that’s wrong. It is difficult to get into CBA if you’ve already started here. It is the most popular college to internally transfer into, so the competition is pretty high just because of the finite amount of people they are able to accept. CCIS can be difficult if you try to transfer too late, because they have a lot of required courses. Same thing with engineering- plus the GPA requirement to transfer into engineering is pretty high. Nursing is hard to get into because of the science background needed, as well as the fact that you need to convince a panel of nurses that Nursing is your calling in life despite the fact that you didn’t originally choose it. Some majors you just can’t get into, like Pharmacy.</p>
<p>If you want to dual or double in Business and Journalism, you need to apply to the business school. Once in, you can talk to your advisors about taking Journalism classes towards a second or dual major.</p>
<p>Very few students double major. Most do a dual (combined) major instead, if there is one available in the other subject they want to take. These are designed so that you can still do (usually) the same number of co-ops, time in school, etc as you would without much effort. Doubling can be hard if the majors are very different subjects without any overlap, like Business and Journalism.</p>
<p>Thank you to both WiseGuy and neuchimie - I wasn’t sure if Calc was a required course to get in to business like it is at Wharton and maybe some others. I think I’ll apply into the Business school and try to minor in Journalism. :)</p>
<p>Question about meal plans- I know the meals don’t, but do dining dollars carry over from week to week?</p>
<p>Dining dollars you get in a lump sum at the beginning of the semester. So they will carry over from week to week, but they will not increase over time.</p>
<p>Hi! I am wondering, (I haven’t been to orientation and I don’t know if they’ll give me an answer for this there or not) how can I join clubs/organizations?
Also, a ‘stupid’ question: I wanted to join a sports team/club, and I don’t know which one is the more ‘layed back’ one (like the one that doesn’t compete and stuff). </p>
<p>Thank you loads :D</p>
<p>Clubs give a fair a few times a year to advertise to people, or you might see people handing out flyers on campus or see signs up at Curry. Other times you just go with a friend. Either way, for most clubs you can just show up at an advertised meeting whenever you want. SGA is a little odd to get into, but they post information about it all over campus at the beginning of the semester.</p>
<p>They all “compete” but it’s by level. Some sports have varisty, or whatever the college equilivant of that is (ex: hocky). Some sports have club teams (ex: tennis), which compete with other schools but it’s not as high up. You have to try out for both of these kinds.</p>
<p>Then there are intramural teams, which is held for most sports, I believe (maybe not hockey). You can get a group together of your friends and form a team, or you can be on your own and placed into a team already created. They “compete” but it’s just amongst each other. It is obviously much more relaxed and just for fun. Sometimes you’ll find really good players who are just doing it because they don’t have the time to do club teams (or don’t feel like it), but usually its just random people who think it might be interesting. </p>
<p>Tryouts and sign-ups for intramurals are all posted on the neu sports website.</p>
<p>Thanks neuchimie!!</p>
