<p>I've heard that we should "go nuts" our freshman year and pick classes from economics, psychology, philosophy, etc. to see what we are really interested in. If we are in Pratt, for our first year, we can only pick one Humanities class for the year, so how are we supposed to explore what we are interested in and what we would have never thought to take? So for example, instead of taking Chemistry 21L first semester, could we take that some other time next semester or next year and replace it with a humanities class that we think might be interesting. It just seems that first year in Pratt is all Chem, Physics, Math, EGR 10, and EGR53L with just one humanities class. We have already studied math, chem, physics in high school, and I want to try out something new that I might like. After all, we need 5 humanities/social sciences credit, so why not take all of them in the first year to explore and see if something really excites us outside of engineering. First year is the time to do that, right?</p>
<p>Pratt is a little difficult to explore because you have certain classes you just have to take. Keep in mind that Chemistry is a 2 semester class...you have to do 21 in the fall and 22 in the Spring...those full year sciences make it kind of difficult.</p>
