<p>to minor you basically have to fill out a form and bring it to records and registration…however all programs are different so the signing up process may include some additional steps for different programs…i am a music minor and all i had to do was attend an orientation session and fill out the form. i don’t know about other programs but for music there is one person who is the advisor for all the music minors, so i emailed her ahead of time to inquire. if you do some digging on the psych website try to find a link specifically for the minor. you could also email the department (each department should have it’s own general email address)</p>
<p>yes it is possible to double major but it kinda depends on what you want to major in. i originally wanted to double with music and bio but was told by the music dept that the scheduling would be extremely difficult (so it would have potentially taken me 5 years to finish) so i settled for the minor. the problem is some programs (like music) require you to take certain classes in sequence and you’re only allowed so many credits per semester. i again it all depends on the requirements for each major. also, doubling would lower the amount of liberal learning courses you would need to take</p>
<p>how does one enroll in the pre - med track. I know it isn’t a specified major or anything but do you have to consult the pre-med advisor or fill out a form for pre-med. And also do you have to apply for it or can anyone do the track. I am a bio major and i know that i will fulfill most of the premed and bio courses simultaneously but i just wanna noe if there is a formal sign up for the premed track.</p>
<p>as far as i know there isn’t any form to fill out… i do know that when the time comes to apply for med school you have to declare your intent to apply to a med school to the chair of the medical careers advisory commitee, who will then advise you and help you with your applications…here’s a link to the medical careers advisory commitee web page it may answer some of your questions:</p>
<p>this may be a stupid question but wen you are working on lab experiments in bio, physics, and chem is it like high school where you have a lab partner or perhaps a lab group?</p>
<p>Can someone inform me of relaxing and chill things to do with people BESIDES drinking and parties. Are there a lot of things to do on campus? How is the town of Ewing? Is there alot to do in the town and does tcnj provide transportation to anywhere? </p>
<p>I also live in northern new jersey. I was wondering are there any nearby train stations or bus stations to transport me in the even i want to go home for a weekend.</p>
<p>I don’t drink and have only been to one party but I still manage to have fun! The Loop Bus will take you to the nearby mall, movie theatre, etc. It pretty much goes to every nearby shopping center/mini malls. The school also runs bus trips to Philly, NYC. Most of the time on the weekend though I’m relaxing with my friends on my floor, watching movies, playing games. They have movie nights in the one freshman dorm and there are also pool tables in the student center. Ewing isn’t the best college town around (it’ll probably seem a little better when you’re an upperclassman and have a car to get around). There isn’t really many places within walking distance of campus so as a freshman you’re kind of limited to where you can go. </p>
<p>I’m also from north jersey. The Trenton and Hamilton train stations are both nearby and I think there’s a bus stop across from campus (although I’m not sure which lines pick up/drop off there) And I think the loop bus will take you to the train station. Personally I haven’t taken the train or bus</p>
<p>I have a few questions concerning the dorming life at tcnj. How is the freshman dorming situation. How many people are typically in one room and i was wondering if there is a bathroom in each room, or is it like floor showering and bathing? Also are the floors co-ed or just strictly boys/girls on separate floors?</p>
<p>Also how is the security at tcnj (in other words are their protocols like drinking and misconduct stringently enforced and is it strict at tcnj)?</p>
<p>I was once told that premed and bio tracks are pretty competitive at the college level (obviously) but my essential question is is there any kind of studying regiment i should do perhaps in the summer that you would recommend to come into tcnj from hs strong and ready to work hard. I am an hnrs. and ap student and work extremely hard but i just want to come into tcnj knowledgable and at the “college level” you know what i’m saying.</p>
<p>If anyone can provide some feedback it would be appreciative</p>
<p>Most freshmen will end up in Travers or Wolf (aka the 10 floor towers). there’s approximately 50 people or so per floor. the floors are coed and there are communal bathrooms on each floor and laundry on every other. the rooms are all doubles however on some floors the lounges are made into quads. the rest of the class will live in cromwell (this is where i am living). cromwell houses the honors students, a few non honors, and transfers on the top floor. cromwell is suite style- 3 doubles surrounding a bathroom. </p>
<p>the alcohol/misconduct rules are strictly followed. from 8pm until about 2ish (it’s different depending on whether it’s a weekend or week night) you must show your id to get into the building. anyone not living in your residence hall must be signed in and give up their id</p>
<p>as far as studying over the summer it’s completely up to you. i didn’t study at all and still feel pretty comfortable with the material (and my high school’s ap program wasn’t that great either). if you took ap bio then themes in biology (your freshmen bio course) will be pretty straightforward. i fond it to be just a slightly more in depth version of my ap bio class</p>
<p>i’m alittle disappointed by the whole bathroom situation it sounds like its gonna be a hassle in terms of hygiene like with 50 people sharing it all… i guess people just have to deal with it we cant do anything about it</p>
<p>i dont know if this applied to you as you are in the hnrs program but are surveys given out and filled out in order to match people with similar personalities and traits like they do in other colleges?</p>
<p>it’s not 50 people sharing a bathroom it’ll be about 25ish (i think they try to split the floors up evenly as far as boys and girls). i have friends in the towers and they say it’s really not that bad. one of the upsides of living in the towers is there are people who clean the bathrooms for you whereas me and my suitemates have to do it on our own time and with our own supplies.</p>
<p>yes everyone has to fill out a survey online. it’s really short and asks questions like do you smoke, are you a morning/night person, tolerance of alcohol, neat/messy, etc. you will be housed with someone (or around the people) who is in the same freshman seminar program as you</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone has met/had a comference with the premed advisor at tcnj. If anyone could provide any feedback or relay any experiences with the advisor it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>How does PAWS (or the tcnj representatives) know if you are allowed to sign up for certain classes? In example, how is PAWS able to know that a non-bio major is not allowed to take Intro to Bio during the fall semester. Same goes for tcnj paws system knowing whether you have the preqs to sign up for lets say calc A.</p>
<p>Have you seen the PAWS page? I’m not exactly sure how it works cause I’m not good with all the technical stuff and all lol but basically it will show your major on PAWS and when you go to your academic planner it will show you all of your requirements and the classes that will cover those requirements. Somehow the computer knows what you can and can’t take.</p>
<p>In some classes, I believe seats are reserved for majors of that class until a certain time. Then afterward, anyone can enroll. For freshmen, I think it’s less flexible though.</p>
<p>has anyone on CC taken the writing exemption placement test to opt out of WRI 102? If anyone who has can respond pertaining to the material and difficulty of the exam it would be appreciative.</p>
