Current Penn Fresman Taking Questions (hi kevin!)

<p>oh ok…so if none of the APs are in your core requirements then AP credits are essentially useless?</p>

<p>most of mine have been =(</p>

<p>Pretty much. They can sometimes place you out of an intro course though but then you need to take the next course in the sequence.</p>

<p>Are you responsible for changing light bulbs in your room, including the main ceiling light?</p>

<p>nope not for the ones that come with your room</p>

<p>if you bring your own lamp and it has non-standard light bulbs, then yes</p>

<p>Are you responsible for changing light bulbs in your room, including the main ceiling light? </p>

<p>hahahhahahhaahaa</p>

<p>i don’t know why you think that’s funny. it’s a practical question. i mean if you have to buy your own toilet paper who knows???</p>

<p>question: when are classes over at penn? at least this year?</p>

<p>this should help with that</p>

<p>Thank you!!!</p>

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I was invited to this program and I know a common question has always been if it’s suited for someone who’s taking a Pre-Med track. I know it’s going to be more in-depth coursework than normal Pre-Med majors but I’m interested in knowing how much more and any suggestions you have for me.</p>

<p>still lolzin bout the lightbulbs.</p>

<p>What are the regulations for wallspace? Thumb tacks? Tape? Sticky-tac?</p>

<p>How easy is it to get into the classes you want? Or do lots of people get shut out?</p>

<p>wallspace is generally non-destructive (no holes in walls) stuff, though people have done staples and tacks before</p>

<p>and as for classes, it depends on what you want and when - generally speaking if you need to be in a class, you can find a way in, and proper prioritization with advance registration is your friend</p>

<p>Can you paint your walls? There’s a video of Harrison college house and both rooms shown have such pretty walls but I doubt they came that way…</p>

<p>Also, is there a bring your own mug, environmentally friendly policy at Commons 1920?</p>

<p>Thank you!!!</p>

<p>no, and possibly?</p>

<p>Thanks. What I meant with the second question is do you have to do the BYOM thing for Commons 1920? I’m pretty sure that Gregory House has you do that policy but I didn’t apply there…</p>

<p>quick question: did we have free time during the Int’l Student Orientation or normal freshmen orientation to open bank accounts, get credit cards, buy cell phones/furniture…etc? Do you think its a good idea to arrive at Philly a few days before the orientation? thanks :)</p>

<p>^^ That is a good question that I would love to have answered.</p>

Hm…I would recommend arriving a day or two early to take care of that stuff. There is some down time, but for me anyway, I was always out meeting and hanging out with people. ISO doesn’t have that much free time…the day is pretty packed.</p>
