<p>and is an Undergraduate Studies student. She is uncertain of what she wants to study, i.e., business, medicine , law, etc. at this point. In this scenario:</p>
<li> What “required” classes are students taking first semester?</li>
<li> Any suggestions on courses/profs would be greatly appreciated.</li>
</ol>
<p>Know this is pretty open-ended, but any suggestions greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>This is where you can find the classes required to graduate:</p>
<p>[2008-2010</a> Core Requirements | School of Undergraduate Studies](<a href=“http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/core/requirements/2008-2010]2008-2010”>http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/core/requirements/2008-2010)</p>
<p>Get her to try to sign up for a UGS class because you must take one freshman year (fall or spring).</p>
<p>I’d suggest ARC 308: Architecture and Society with Larry Speck for the arts/visual studies requirement. It’s a pretty easy class and focuses on modern architecture so it’s not a bore and the prof is amazing.</p>
<p>To find Teacher’s Rating, make a paid account on PickaProf.com ($10 for whole year and $7.something) for one semester.</p>
<p>Stick with the core requirements in that link that nerd855 sent. Good job, nerd855. Starting students off in the UGS when they don’t pick another college is a new thing. I assume this means they will be able to get help from UGS during orientation, which is great because they used to just dump those kids in the College of Liberal Arts. Tell your daughter to stop in for a great smoothie at Jester Freshens at orientation. lol. It’s included on her orientation meal card.</p>
<p>Hmm…am I really being paid enough to be advertising for my part-time job on campus?</p>
<p>haha i’ll be sure to drop in for a smoothie next week when i’m at ut for orientation. :)</p>
<p>Haha. Great! See you there and Hook 'Em!</p>
<p>If you have any questions about campus life before, during or after orientation, I have my own thread for such things. I try to answer as honestly as possible. And you can’t possibly have a longer series of questions than the first person who posted on it. And no, that’s not an invitation to try. But it is an invitation to ask whatever is on your mind. I know how confusing it all seems at first. So, it’s good to know what you’re in for once you get to UT. Although at the same time, there are so many aspects of the UT experience that you won’t be able to understand and appreciate until you’ve lived it.</p>
