<p>French 100 (elementary)
Anthropology 110 (Arch and Prehist)
Spanish 210 (Convo and Comp)
Freshman seminar (interdisciplinary)</p>
<p>All of my classes except the seminar would be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with the earliest class starting at 8:45 and the latest ending at 2:35. Not bad. The seminar is Tuesdays and Thursdays.</p>
<p>I am not guaranteed any of these classes really...but I bought the books anyway because I'd want to take the classes ASAP, like the winter semester if I didn't get in. </p>
<p>So, how does it look? Too easy? Still have to meet with my advisor.....</p>
<p>The only problem I see is that Spanish would end at 9:50 and Anthro would start at 10:00.....I'd have to bring most of my books with me!!</p>
<p>Too easy! If you’re taking 200 level Spanish, you’ve had some experience with learning a second language already, so French should be easier as a result. You may want to choose some courses to take in the event you can’t get into some of those courses, and to ensure you’ll graduate on time, if you don’t have AP/IB credits already. 10min between classes is the norm – I’ve had to carry books for 4 classes at once, as they were all back-to-back. It builds muscle! :p</p>
<p>Make sure you know when the last date you can return your books is. If you don’t get in this semester/year, the books may change and become obsolete, and you’ll be out a lot of money for nothing.</p>
<p>Definitely talk to your advisor – they’ll help make sure you take on the right amount of courses and stay on track to graduate on time. :)</p>
<p>Sounds like you’ll do alright. French and Anthropology are easy. Freshman seminar was some kind of English class for my friend…so depends on your teacher. I took Spanish in middle school and wasn’t very fond of it. But you seem to have it under your belt going into a 200 course.</p>
<p>At my school, anthro is supposed to be a hard major…just sayin’. Me getting into 210 Spanish is not guaranteed, but I think I’d do just fine with it. I took AP.</p>
<p>Well, take the stuff I need for Spanish and Anthro. For Spanish, I’d need 1 book and for anthro I’d need 2 books. Add two binders and that’s 5 things. Plus a laptop? I don’t know how much my backpack can fit!! :P</p>
<p>Anthro may be a hard major, but is the intro class hard? How big are your binders? Why are you bringing a laptop along with your binders – do you need them all during class? I needed two books for Russian, one book for German, one book for Spanish, and two for Linguistics, plus each had their own (small) binder. You aren’t going to get much sympathy from me on that front. :p</p>
<p>Why not throw in a math or a “hard” science class? Hard as in Physics, Biology or Chemistry; it has no bearing on their difficulty. Take this opportunity to learn something outside your major.</p>
<p>I’m a history/anthropology double major; I find history to be much harder. But they were smaller classes with open discussions.</p>
<p>You do not need binders for each class to take with you every time (at home is fine). Just get a folder and orginize it later. More often than not, you probably won’t have to take your book to the anthro class.</p>
<p>They’re called an advisor for a reason. . . they advise you as to whether a schedule is a good one. Some advisors are clueless, but they’re probably still going to have a better idea of what you need than people on a message board, especially since most of use aren’t very familiar with your school’s curriculum. Better to ask some upperclassman who are anthro majors.</p>
<p>TitoMorito, according to Rate My Professors, the intro classes are VERY hard. I know those sites aren’t reliable however. Only people with the strongest opinions post. I think my biggest binder is 2’’ or 2.5.’’ I don’t know if I will need my computer with me in every class, but it may be easier to type than to write (my handwriting is awful.)</p>
<p>Davidthefat, I dislike those subjects, so why would I spend a great deal of money on something that I would both hate and never use? I can see taking something like a philosophy class or a writing class, but NEVER a math class :P</p>
<p>Icedragon, anthro is supposed to be one of the more difficult majors at my school.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m not going to argue that it isn’t hard; I was just checking. Would you consider just bringing your laptop for note-taking, and any assignments you might need, and leaving the binders at home as icedragon suggested? It seems like overkill to have both the laptop and binders; even having a binder that big to carry around for each class is a lot more than you’ll likely need.</p>
<p>I would get folders. I used one binder for 3 classes in college.
If your classes are really close together, then don’t go back to your dorm. If they are an hour apart, you have time to go back. I think you might be over thinking the logistics part. Focus on if you can take another class in terms of time to study.</p>
<p>Chill out. See what things are like when you get there and what other kids are bringing to class with them. Don’t plan every minute detail. It’s not realistic.</p>
