<p>For fall 2012, I'm taking gen chem and gen bio, and because of my ap score in english and psychology, I have room for two more classes. </p>
<p>What are some interesting classes at Northeastern??(Yes, I already looked through the net course catalog online)</p>
<p>Just to point it out- as a freshmen you aren’t going to have much of a choice. Your advisor might want you to move forward with more advanced courses. Or a lot of a electives might be full by the time you sign up for classes. Or all of the cool ones will be during the only time slot for chemistry you could get into. Scheduling isn’t great your first year (same at any college).</p>
<p>She’s right that you likely won’t have a lot of options because you’ll be registering after everyone else. If you can’t take classes to advance in your major, your advisor will likely recommend that you take classes to fulfill some of your core requirements. I’d recommend doing this. That way you can save your electives for a semester when you’ll get a better pick. If you decide to do a minor, as well, that will leave you the space free. So if you really don’t have any idea what kind of elective to take, I’d hang on to it.</p>
<p>If you have the opportunity to take Fundamentals of Computer Science 1, I would recommend that. I’m a computer science major though so that is a highly biased opinion. It’s never a bad thing to know a little programming, it can be beneficial in many ways.</p>
<p>I took an art class my first semester because I had a free section, couldn’t take any advanced classes yet, and had fulfilled pretty much all my core classes. Ended up ruining my 4.0 with the “you’re not an art major” A-. But that’s just my rant. I enjoyed the class.
I took CS fundamentals this semester because I decided to add a CS minor after doing programming in some of my other classes. It was an easy class, but I enjoyed it as well.
You might consider taking a class in something that you’re considering for a minor. That could give you a head start or help you figure out if you really want to do that minor.</p>
<p>okay thanks!!
also, what do you guys think is the best/(interesting/easy) course to take to fulfill the ‘comparative study of culture’ requirement’? I checked the course list of classes that meet the requirement but those courses don’t really sound fun at alll</p>
<p>Do a study abroad</p>
<p>Both semester abroad and dialogues fulfill that requirement. Way more fun that learning about a different culture from a classroom in the US.</p>
