Freshman Seminars!

<p>which other trips are there? geology?</p>

<p>chichi dango, unless I am mistaken, the Let's Eat one is in the Spring, and your four choices should be all fall ones for this app. </p>

<p>Princeton pays for the trips. I think there are just the Ocean and the Geology ones.</p>

<p>Hm, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out!</p>

<p>No problem. But speaking of spring courses, I want to do the chocolate one. Mmm yummy</p>

<p>I'm really really disappointed that Cornel West isn't teaching one this year; I know he did last year. But he does teach a religion course so maybe I'll get to take that.</p>

<p>the spring seminars look so much better than the fall ones!!!
So can we not apply for the fall seminars at all..and take a spring seminar instead??</p>

<p>Yes-- you can take one each semester, or just take one in the whole year, or not take any. If you don't take a fall one, you get preference in the spring.</p>

<p>Is there any need to apply right away? Are these first-come, first-served? Or do we just have to get the application in by the deadline?</p>

<p>That was my question also, but since they said that the profs read through all the essays, I don't think it's first come first serve. I haven't done my app yet.</p>

<p>I finally got my freshman booklet!! just wondering when did you people get yours??</p>

<p>Umm, I got mine on Saturday I think?</p>

<p>i got mine yesterday</p>

<p>When is the deadline again?</p>

<p>August 12th</p>

<p>so everyone here is applying for fall seminar??????</p>

<p>I am! Seminars are so wonderful-sounding, I want to do one each semester (I wish I could take 2 per semester...)
I think I will apply for:
1. Ocean environment
2. What disney didn't tell you
3. The holy ordinary
4. the geology one?</p>

<p>dont understand...dont you people think the spring ones are better??? they even got paul krugman taking one :eek: !!!! and such interesting topics! basically, i dont want to risk my spring seminars..</p>

<p>Well, I want to take one each semester, and spring ones may be "better" but the fall ones are great as well...</p>

<p>Nobody says you have to take a fall one though, so don't feel like you need to, adides. But I don't think you'd be really jeopardizing your spring seminar if you take one in the fall. You're not guaranteed to get a spring one if you don't take a fall one anyway. What's more important is the quality of your essays, since that's what the profs choose you with.</p>

<p>You're not automatically locked out of the spring ones if you apply for a fall one. Plenty have taken one each semester. Don't sweat it ;)</p>

<p>arent the spring seminars not coming out till november?</p>

<p>They're already out if you got the booklet in the mail. You just can't apply until late fall.</p>
