<p>Just a heads up guys, the registration for us incoming freshman for EFS is now open. I'm not sure how fast it fills up but I already picked my class and registered!</p>
<p>1205 just for one course? Yeah screw that.</p>
<p>It’s a cheaper per credit cost then normal classes. Yeah, it’s expensive. Welcome to college, I guess.</p>
<p>oh yeah i guess i was thinking you pay and take that course, then take 3 addional courses for autumn quarter, but i guess if you take that and then just take 2 courses autumn quarter its a good deal.</p>
<p>How is it cheaper per credit?</p>
<p>If you’re thinking about the writing EFS class, I <em>think</em> those fill up pretty quickly.</p>
<p>Well keep in mind, if you choose to live at the UW during EFS, it will cost more…</p>
<p>What is an interesting yet not too difficult EFS class you would suggest?</p>
<p>Quick question about Summer A&O session. I know we have the option of staying overnight for 1-3 days. I am definitely going to sign up for at least 1 night, how about you guys? Anyone doing 2-3 days? Any recommendations? And are the Outdoor adventure activities worth the money? Any good experiences?</p>
<p>Also, how is Dawg Days, to any current UW students?</p>
<p>@momomomo The breakdown per credit at UW is about like ~$400/credit I believe, there’s a breakdown on their website. </p>
<p>@ilikeUW The outdoor adventures sounded cool to me, but you have to take a later orientation day so I decided against it. Plus, living around the area, I’ve been to the places they’re going too. It kinda sounds like a lot of leadership/team-building games, which I’ve done plenty of in high school. It’s probably a good way to bond with fellow freshman, though.</p>
<p>Registered for my EFS class too! Also I heard a lot of positive feedback about EFS from past students.</p>
<p>Ditto. I think it’s a great way to get familiar with the UW and make friends; you’re essentially going to be hanging out with your classmates for a month…especially since all the out-of-staters won’t know anyone really, it should be very easy to be social.</p>
<p>Exactly how much more does it cost to do EFS?</p>
<p>It’s like $1200 for the class alone, if you need housing then I think it’s an additional ~$800 or so.</p>
<p>You wouldn’t be necessarily be spending more for the class though right? Because in the fall you would be taking 1 class less? But housing… that’s definitely going to cost more.</p>
<p>That’s a valid point, yeah, but if you’re getting financial aid then you have to take 15 credits/quarter. At least for the Husky Promise you do, I’m fairly certain any grant requires the same. I suppose in theory it could afford you an easier first quarter/year though.</p>
<p>wait does husky promise cover an efs class? Cause I’m husky promise and I’m def down for some free education.</p>
<p>“Free” in the sense you’ll have less to spend on other stuff, yeah. I paid for it via financial aid grants. But it’s not really free since that money could be spent on food, etc.</p>
