kfc4u, does every freshmen do GE during the first year? what popular classes do you mean get filled up so fast i can't even sign up for it?

<p>most freshmen take at least several GE courses during their first year. i'm not really sure if you can avoid it. besides, some GE's overlap with your major's lower-division requirements anyway. </p>
<p>some classes are really popular, and current students will sign up for them before the freshmen get to at orientation. i know almost all the political science lower divs are like that (they count for GE's and for poli sci major, so maybe that's why so many people want to take them).</p>
<p>Whats good about the EXPO program?
im not sure if this is a personal question or not, if it is you dont have to answer, but howd you manage your time with studies and outside stuff...any recommendations on how to meet good, hardworking friends as well as professors?
thanks.</p>
<p>o another random statement: i heard north campus people are a lot more relaxed than south campus, is that true? cause my roomate is going to be an engineering dude and i hope hes not all bogged up with school work.</p>
<p>EXPO lets you do an internship in DC. Excellent program. I think CAPPP is better because it also lets you get a significant research paper in, but the EXPO people had tons more free time.</p>
<p>I managed my time by basically working like a dog on weekdays and Sundays and taking time off Friday night and Saturday (to see my girlfriend.)</p>
<p>Oh, and the north campus thing? Holds true for a lot of people. Your roomie might be a busy little beaver.</p>
<p>Besides political science classes, what were some of your favorite subject classes?
I really love history, politics, government, so I plan to take advantage of the variety of courses at UCLA. (do you think ucla will let me take calculus over again for fun...cause i finished ab and bc)</p>
<p>Well, you can't retake it if they accept the units (except for maybe auditing.) But you can continue into further study of the subject all you like.</p>
<p>I enjoyed my history classes and language classes quite a bit.</p>
<p>since many aspiring lawyers major in political science, did you find the atmosphere to be more competitive? Did you ever consider law school for yourself? Thanks.</p>

<p>i'm a poli sci major. there's some gunning for law school, but there's plenty who aren't either (and remember that there are pre-laws in many other majors besides poli sci). i dont think the major is that competitive. </p>

<p>try history and public policy classes, probably the two most common classes that poli sci majors take in addition to poli sci. i've enjoyed my history classes more than some of my poli sci classes actually. i also recommend languages and global studies. i've been recommended to try some philosophy. some econ classes might be good too.</p>
