<p>Hello Everyone,
I was just wondering what the Fu school is like.
-is it hard?
-are the professors good?
-what are the students like?
-what is the courseload like per night?
-how hard is it to get into?
-also, do you have to do the core curriculum at columbia if you are accepted to Fu?</p>
<p>Please reply. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Lol! "Fu School" XD</p>
<p>Its SEAS (School of engineering and Applied Sciences). Its not very easy to get into and yes, you do have to do the Core. Though I do believe some of the courses are different from the ones the people in the college take.</p>
<p>Do a little research. Columbia</a> University in the City of New York and the helpful threads post here are great sources and can answer every one of those questions</p>
<p>-is it hard?</p>
<p>yes. not significantly more or less hard than many peer schools, however.</p>
<p>-are the professors good?</p>
<p>yeah, they're great. most of them anyway.</p>
<p>-what are the students like?</p>
<p>smart. hardworking. fairly chill notwithstanding the smart-and-hardworking.</p>
<p>-what is the courseload like per night?</p>
<p>I don't think most people have courses at night.</p>
<p>-how hard is it to get into?</p>
<p>Very. Look at admission statistics.</p>
<p>-also, do you have to do the core curriculum at columbia if you are accepted to Fu?</p>
<p>you do parts of the liberal-arts core. You do the freshman writing course. Between the great-books fiction and nonfiction classes (or a major cultures class), you have to choose one. Between the history-of-art and history-of-music classes, you have to choose one. Plus a bunch of engineering-core classes - physics, chemistry, calculus, compsci, gateway lab, and a pre-professional class.</p>
<p>more detailed info available by searching.</p>
<p>"-what is the courseload like per night?</p>
<p>I don't think most people have courses at night."</p>
<p>he probably meant something like "how much work do most students do per night?"</p>
<p>stick around here, maybe you'll start picking up on the jokes.</p>
<p>But, you still have not answer his question on that...</p>

<p>My senior year I had night classes 2 or 3 nights a week both semesters. They were those horrible once-a-week blocks from something like 6:50-9:20. Some of the courses were taught by adjuncts, and others were just stupidly scheduled then. Fortunately, the profs can't take teaching boring stuff for 3 hours any more than students can take listening to boring stuff for 3 hours, so they'd end class early most of the time.</p>
