<p>so i got into orientation 101, which means i'll hopefully have a good chance at getting the classes i want</p>
<p>i want to take it easy my first quarter, so does anyone know of any GEs that are hella interesting and not hard? ;]</p>
<p>please and thank you.</p>
<p>oh, and im only thinking of being enrolled in 3 classes fall quarter (someone told me it'd be more than enough to take 3 classes my first quarter, to like get into the UCLA mood before over stressing myself)</p>
<p>so again, anyone that can give me any advice, thank you <3</p>
<p>arts and architecture (or arts encounters…whatever its called) 10 or music 15. no question.</p>
<p>^^ thank you x 1000000
anyone else ;]</p>
<p>I’d like to know the same!</p>
<p>My daughter is a freshman this year and has spent the whole year taking 3 classes a quarter. She took a freshman cluster and lots of GE’s and managed a 3.9 so far. She plans to take a summer course and take 4 classes per quarter next year. It is definitely a good idea your first quarter or two. </p>
<p>Every fall these same questions are asked. My daughter and I both read many, many threads about easy GE’s. So I suggest you type “easy GE’s” in the search bar and you will get pages and pages of good answers. BTW Art & Architecture 10 and Music 15 are easy GE’s.</p>
<p>Geography 5 with Gillespie ftw. Easiest class I’ve taken at UCLA. The prof is <em>extremely</em> liberal, just as a warning to any die-hard conservatives out there. It fills up really fast though since it has a reputation for being an easy GE (and it counts as a science GE which is awesome).</p>
<p>Yeah, most people only take 4 classes per quarter max (though I know engineers have a lot of classes to take so they might occasionally take 5), so only taking 3 your first quarter (or even your first year or more) is perfectly fine. I’m not speaking with any real authority, but I’d imagine it looks better (in terms of grad school and whatnot) to take less classes and really excel in them versus taking on too many and not doing as well. As long as you’re averaging 15 units/quarter you’re good.</p>
