<p>Hey!</p>

<p>I've gotten a really late start on course registration because I was away for most of the summer. Hope you guys can help me!</p>

<p>Penn Engineering sent me a packet with "Recommended Courses for the First Semester" for Mechanical Engineering and they were:</p>

<p>EAS 105
Math 104
Chem 101 (section 4 or 5)
Chem 053 Lab
MEAM 110
MEAM 147 Lab</p>

<p>Does this seem right? Is there anything else you would recommend?
I was a little surprised because I thought there would be at least some English or other Liberal Arts class in my schedule. Also, I thought it would be physics instead of Chem.
Additionally, not sure if this makes a difference, I definitely want to do a study abroad program. Are there any requirements I would have to take care of now if i want to do that? And do I have to take the language if I go abroad?</p>

<p>So many questions! Sorry.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You have room enough in that schedule for a writing seminar, if you want to get over with it.</p>

<p>uh no don’t try to cram a writing seminar in there</p>

<p>that’s a pretty standard schedule, the bulk of your fellow mechanical engineering frosh classmates will be taking those same exact classes (or slightly different, depending on ap credit)</p>

<p>talk to the study abroad office about planning your schedule, but at this point it’s probably too early to worry about that</p>

<p>Looks exactly what one of my MEAM friends took as a freshman. 105 is gonna be fun :)</p>
