January Term Ideas for Freshman Pre-Med student

Anybody have any suggestions about what a pre-med freshman can do over J-term which would be productive? The office of pre-health advising apparently doesn’t have a freshman counselor right now, and the peer counselors are only focusing on schedule choices, etc. There is so much time between semesters, that it seems like a great opportunity for something useful. Thanks,

Jack

Yes, it’s a great opportunity to recharge your batteries! In future, look well in advance for alternative breaks. Lots of opportunities for winter session abroad or volunteering in different locations.

Any easy three credit class! Winter break is so long, your best bet is to knock 3 easy credits out of the way and then you can take a lighter load next semester. Check out AMST203 or anything else that looks interesting.
